Thanksgiving Eve

The first significant accumulation of snow has graced Canterbury this Thanksgiving Eve! After so long in Florida, it's so good to experience the cozy contentment of a snowy day.

The pipes, as you can see in the picture, are still above ground, but they've been pretty good about not freezing, thankfully. All things considered, I'm surprised they're doing so well.

Tomorrow the family will gather at my parents' house to celebrate Thanksgiving, and the trail of boot-prints bridging their house and mine is proof of the bustling excitement as we work together to prepare for the festivities. I'm getting ready to let my Sparkling Cranberries soak overnight, and I plan to wake up early and whip up some 30 - Minute Yeast Rolls. (Click either one to find its recipe.)  I haven't tried them before, so I'm trusting Pinterest not to let me down! I'm especially intrigued by the idea of yeast rolls rising in a mere 30 minutes...



"Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it." (W. A. Ward)

It's traditional, in the quiet moments of Thanksgiving Day, to reflect individually on what we're grateful for. But less commonly suggested is the importance of expressing that thankfulness to the ones who have blessed us. Take some time to personally thank those who have blessed you, as well as the Almighty Giver, who supplies such an incredible abundance of all things good!

Happy Thanksgiving from Canterbury!
