A swell day- feast, walk, dogs, garden

Welcome to Thanksgiving.

 Three dogs great you, loudly! They carry on for way too long until everyone is fed up with such boisterous "so glad to see you woof woof bark bark wag wag human i love human, bark bark pet me woof woof I am lossing my tiny little mind wag wag" - they are all told to SIT, Lay down.... Stay...."good boy".

 So nice to have three good boys around, sort of grounds the room and gives everyone something to  boss and cuddle.
 

The view is splendid from the front room, This is the first Thanksgiving in their new house.

Daughter in Law's garden is still blooming- Her rose bush in in all stages of Rose.

Just an hour south of here the weather is warmer and less wet. Her garden is still lovely. Frost has not yet had its way with the flowers.

After dinner, which was amazingly delicious,  time to walk to the beach with the dogs.

Some walk faster than others, either because they are cold or because the dogs are more enthusiastic about going fast.

Games played, crazy noisy silly games! Conversations lively!Photos shown of trip to Africa.Talk of grandchildren's shenanigans- jobs- Keeka in Columbia at the moment, Maddie flying airplanes, Austin planning cities, and Max  in  lab coat , working for a Danish medical company. Great jobs, great kids.

The dark up here comes early and falls extra hard, like night  has the weight of stone -  4:00 pm, the temperature drops - it is time to drive back home. 

Wonderful day , all in all!

All of that turkey dinner, fresh air, and excitement- This one is ready for a long snooze, at least until everything settles , then it might be nice to have a little snack of turkey, taters, rolls, dressing, pie, cranberries, fruit , cheese,and a bean.
