I enjoyed this plate while adding some more thanks to my list. I'm currently working on a list of 1000 Thanks. Gratitude is not just to be focused in November, right? It's been a really nice addition to my morning quiet time.

Cleaning up, I realized how similar gravy and carmel sauce look when in mason jars. Which do you think is which? 🤣

We had a different day than planned but a lovely day nonetheless. Regardless of the plan of the day we celebrated how much we have to give thanks for! I hope you had a lovely day celebrating as well ❤️

Here we are, on the eve of the eve of Thanksgiving

Here we are, on the eve of the eve of Thanksgiving. If your tomorrow includes multiple dishes to prepare go ahead and print your recipes. Using a laptop or your phone on the counter for multiple recipes is . Also, take things that need to be softened out to do their thing. I'll be starting the cooking first thing tomorrow morning so my ingredients will be ready for me instead of the other way around.

Happy Thanksgiving folks!

It FINALLY feels like the date on the calendar. No

It FINALLY feels like the date on the calendar. No more of this 65 and muggy business in November. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not quite ready for sub zero but I am set to need a cup of tea to warm up, to enjoy our wood stove and the soil to go fully into rest mode for the season. My hot shower hit different after a walk in cold weather, a great way to start this Monday! Have a great day and week ahead friends!

Good morning everyone! Phinn and I enjoyed a walk

Good morning everyone! Phinn and I enjoyed a walk before 3 soccer games and a football game today. And the hunters went out first thing. What a day! And to top it off I'm staying warm in my new hat from @of.grit.and.grace. Go check out her beautiful hand knit goods to stay warm. Great Christmas gifts too!

I have some new faces so I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Melissa wife to Mister and mom of 4 boys. I'm becoming more and more aware of internet weirdos so thats why you don't see their faces on here anymore. We live in Maine and have cows, chickens, pigs, a couple of barn cats and the dog. We homeschool and I share here about all of the above as well as motherhood and my faith. I've been sharing on these squares for a few years now and am so grateful for meting you all as we learn and encourage eachother ❤️
