A Happy & Blessed Thanksgiving to All

Happy Thanksgiving!

It was a lovely day today. We have caught up with Fall -- some of the trees here are just turning their Fall colors --

This one, just outside Auntie Violet's door has these beautiful shades of red and yellow --


We had a quiet day today, sort of eating our way through it. We started with crab cocktails about lunch time, followed up with pecan pie. Later this evening we had our roast chicken, dressing and caramelized sweet potatoes.

Forry has been kidding me about these extra guests that show up towards evening every day --


This turkey vulture is one of a fairly large flock that roost in the trees at the edge of the RV park --


How many can you count in the picture above? (I can count at least five...)


Note the red head typical of the turkey vulture in the picture above. The one on the right below is most likely a black vulture which doesn't have that red featherless head. It seems to be a mixed flock of the two types. We've counted at least twenty of them circling before they come into roost.


It was a bit chillier today. A cold front came through and I don't think it got much above 75 degrees this afternoon. We watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade this morning, then the National Dog Show. I've just realized that Forry has not watched a single football game!
