As you can see, our trees are now turning really beautiful colors. In October, we had a few trees change and shed their leaves, but most held on. Thanks to cooler temps during the last two weeks, we now have startling shades of red, orange, and yellow canopied over our house (and falling in our yard!) The smaller tree is a Chinese Pistachio. We had them planted this year! And I was surprised to discover some of our plants also turn colors in the fall.
Bryan and I celebrated Thanksgiving with frozen Chicken Florentine and asparagus! Bryan is on-call Thursday-Sunday, so it is a busy time for him. I have also been editing a book manuscript due Tuesday. We are thankful for jobs and the sustenance those jobs provide. We are thankful God has given us each other--to help and encourage each other through difficult days.
Although we have worked quite a bit this weekend (Bryan more than me, obviously), we did find time to decorate our house for Christmas! And it looks great. Sometime this week, Bryan will put up the outside lights. Yay!
I also hit the highway on Friday to finish our Christmas shopping. I started at 9:30 a.m. and finished up at 6:00 p.m. I'll be spending the next few days wrapping gifts!
We hope you had (and are having!) a wonderful, blessed, thankful Thanksgiving weekend. Happy Thanksgiving!
