This time of the year, although exciting and something that we look forward to, not just for the delicious food but the family get togethers, also means a flurry of constant activity, busy days and a stressful build up, especially for those of us who host Thanksgiving in our home.
I have been right there, in the thick of it, trying to prepare, trying to make sure the house is ready and the food is enough and that nothing is missing.
But in the middle of all the preparation, I often find myself stressed and needing a breather, and that is when I step back and go outside to get some fresh crisp Fall air and just ground myself. It helps so much.
That is what I did, and here is what I captured while in my backyard. Hope it brings some peace and smiles to your face, as it does to mine.
In the kitchen meanwhile, there are pie crusts being made, turkey brines being prepared and a collection of dishware being labeled for different dishes. How is your prep coming along, are you hosting or going to someone else for your Thanksgiving meal?

Sandra, I used to read your blog all the time and somehow got out of the habit. Today I was tired of all the hype everywhere and went back to some of my favorite blogs. Your posts really encouraged me, and I'm so happy you're still here and writing. You encouraged me in the Lord and in keeping on with the everyday homey things I do that encourage others. Blessings to you, Linda Nichols
