The leftovers wane small;
the house waxes dark and still.
All's well with my world.

    And that's the way it is, especially in winter.

    Don't worry; Christmas in just a few weeks. Light and life. Festivity. Exhaustion. Then a good winter's sleep!

    Trying to cheer myself up on this late night in November. Just watched a Christmas special by Hallmark. Big mistake. Not only did the show bring me to tears, but so did every single commercial. I am such a sap!

    Willow,

    Leftovers, not. I wax. Pre-hibernation.

    My, but it is a bleak November morning at my house; how your fire cheers me. I've been in "hibernate mode" since the holiday passed us. Now, I suppose, it is time to pull out the lights and spice.

    We will have turkey sandwiches
    for a few more days, and several
    kinds of pumpkin goodies.
    This is the first time we have
    had all three of our daughters
    home for Thanksgiving in
    six years, so like you we are
    basking in the glow of family,
    sipping at spirits, and making
    our Yuletide plans. For over a
    decade we travel to TX for
    Christmas to see my in-laws.

    So nice to see the relaxed
    state that you and the manor
    seem to be in; puts us all in
    a reflective and mellow mood.

    Yes, a joyous Thanksgiving, even if 3 kids have been sick. All under one roof, and this mother hen is still clucking away at the joy that brought me. I adore your photography - it is so in-the-moment and has such feeling. Great angles, lighting. Do you use it on automatic or do you adjust settings? Can't wait for the next magpie. I'm jotting down thoughts and looking up words all the time. :)
