The Eve of Thanksgiving Day

 A few days ago I finally scheduled a walk with people from the Barony.  That walk was today.  I put the walk on a Barony Facebook page and a few people wanted to go but couldn't and a few could.  In the end, just one family was able to join K and I on our walk.  It seemed to work out well though and I hope to schedule more of these around the state.  Masks were required and we were outside, so we should have been safe.  It was a good time.  Other happy things for today are:

  • Ducks in the pond.
  • Gideon helped me make an apple pie for tomorrow by using the apple peeler, corer, slicer.  He also mixed the cinnamon and sugar as well as providing a play-by-play that went something like--and now the cinnamon and sugar are added to the apples.  What's next?  Stirring!-- and so on.  He has a nice announcer voice. 
  • K made the pie crust.  It was a different recipe than we usually use.  I think it will taste okay and look forward to trying it tomorrow.  It didn't want to roll out though and I ended up pushing the crust into the pie pan.  This is not a problem, just not what I expected.  It looks like it cooked up well too.
  • On the way to the walk, K and I listened to a podcast by Brené Brown that we finished on the way home.  This gave us some good conversation and things to think about.
  • I just figured out how to put the accent over the e in Brené.  The first Google options that were presented to me didn't work.  I had to ask Google how to do them in Blogger.  
  • I'm going to try growing carrots again, from the tops I cut off before grating some today.  I grated them to go into a jello salad thing that we make around the holidays.  
The carrots.  Also I am keeping scallions in water.
They are ready to use and will hopefully stat fresh.


Ducks!
