We have been getting up later than we normally do and I could not understand why, we were not doing anything different than we have done in the past. Then I realized it has taken longer in the mornings for it to become light and with these cloudy dreary days it is taking even longer. So that must be the reason. Also, the evenings are closing in earlier every night again due to the cloudy skies. It is going to get worse before it gets better, so as we have done in the past, accept it.
The sun we were promised yesterday, never showed up, and have a few breaks this morning but the clouds are still there. T'is the season. Soon the leaves will start changing colours as they are not getting the sunlight needed, and the trees have reached the time of the year to go dormant.
Hubby cut the lawns today, but even the grass is not growing as much as it was, it looks so nice when it is done.
After some housework was done, I made a bowl cosy for the hot bowls of food we will be having on the weekend and also the following weekend.
Having our two families for one meal is just too much work and there would be so many people, its best for us to spread them out into two different days. For Thanksgiving, (Canada's is this coming Monday), we will be having Hubby's son, DIL, and their three children and his daughter. The following Friday, my two daughters and two SIL and two granddaughters plus a boyfriend will be having dinner with us. My son and DIL are visiting their son and his family on Thanksgiving, they do not have room for them to sleep at their house, so we are going to be a B & B for one night. All of my other granddaughters and husbands are all busy with their own families so they will not be here. Hopefully we will all be able to get together soon. One can only hope.
Hubby and I have decided this will be the last Thanksgiving meal, turkey with all the trimmings is a lot of work, so instead we are going to have rolls, cold cuts, cheeses etc. etc. the reason for the having family over is to visit, not gorge yourself on food and then leave. Not sure what the plans are for Christmas, getting Thanksgiving over with first.
We had weiners and beans and a salad for our dinner, counting the carbs, so that we did not eat too many.
Hope you had a great day.
I was unaware Canada celebrated Thanksgiving as well as the US. Australia could take a page out of your book and get rid of some of the more divisive holidays.
