Saturday Night Before Thanksgiving Sunday Dinner

All is still, save for thinning willow-song

And bits of brittle leaf scuffling along

Where brooding breeze not yet asleep gives chase

Flirting with *rainbow splatters on the grass

The house tucked in beneath a velvet quilt

Of blue and silver where the moon is spilt

Is quiet now, where all day long it wore

The liveliness of laughter, love and chores

The solitude of almost Sunday falls

To wrap in holy slumber hills and halls

 Upstairs a girl can hardly wait to wake

Dreaming of turkey, pie and carrot cake

The last thing Victoria said tonight was, 'Oh, I can't wait until tomorrow! Turkey and dressing, potatoes and gravy, pumpkin pie and carrot cake!'

We are having everyone in for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow:)oops, not everyone...Rob & Emily and Melissa will be here!

Maybe I'll add the recipes later...so tired.  (there is only one way to get the whole house clean and prepare lots of yummy food; stay at it) 

G'night.

* Victoria picked those rainbow splatters in above photos. The leaves are so vivid this year!

We are enjoying some stunning moonlight nights! (my little digital camera does not do it justice!)
