Before Thanksgiving

 

Last of the dental appointments. Cool dude.

New York meals (though I can't remember actually eating these things when I lived in NY.

"Uncle Pastuso, they're ripe!"

NY cereal

I was rather disillusioned by how many Christmas decorations were up at the beginning of November.  I suppose with covid everyone wants the year over faster? 

The kids are working on their "Clue" movie. 

Watching the plays (see other post for pictures from the play

SERIOUSLY! Who in their right mind...? 😝

I was cleaning out my handy rolling cart that has (supposed to have) school supplies on it... seriously... a circular saw blade? Hasn't come in handy yet for school...

Seton home study has a great series of DVDs for art classes. These pencil drawings were part of the program. 

I felt very safe at the bank drive-thru. Video drive-thru. 😒

What beautiful cupcakes! I wish I could decorate like this!

HFH homeschoolers gift fair

We brought back some Brussels sprouts. Marigold loves them especially raw. I like them baked in olive oil and then drizzled with balsamic vinegar

Hunting season! There was some confusion on which way was up.

Talented Belladonna made stockings for the wedding couples for their wedding gift.  They are so beautiful!

Eowyn is a catechist at our church. She's so diligent and goes the extra mile. She was making them advent wreaths.

We enjoyed a delicious meal thanks go an extremely generous Christmas gift (from 2019). 

We had a huge meal with leftovers for 2 more meals and we still have money on the gift card for a date.

We had our first (significant) snowfall that stayed for a day.

FAINT OF HEART, SKIP THIS BIT OF FARM LIFE....

Then it was butchering time. We butchered 10 turkeys (sold 6). One of the kids took these photos.

FAINT HEARTED MAY RESUME HERE....

Pippin, Bilbo, Poppy, and Marigold all enjoy a good meal of chicken gizzards, and hearts. The rest of us at BBQ.
