It dawned on us that this is the first year we will celebrate as just the two of us. We are planning a pretty traditional dinner with turkey and all the trimmings including pumpkin pie I will be baking tonight. We have many things for which we are thankful and family will be in our thoughts.

Turkey Day is here!
It is a bright beautiful morning just right for a walk. We saw a heron, egret, some cormorants and what I think were coots (goose looking ducks) along with the regulars like mallards and seagulls. I can hear lots of song birds in the high forest canopy but haven’t identified any of them yet.
Dinner came out pretty good would say. We topped it off with a nice bottle of New Mexico Chardonnay and called it good. Got to check in with family too so overall, a great day.
