The Day After Thanksgiving
 I knew it would be a beautiful day from the moment I was up. I looked out our windows that face the west and saw pink and gold reflecting off of the neighbor’s windows and knew the sunrise was worth braving the cold outdoors. I grabbed my camera, slipped out the sliding glass doors, and ran across our back yard. It was chilly, I could see my breath, and there was a light coat of frost, just enough to make the grass crunch under my feet. (I love that) I think our neighbor's barn makes a nice addition to the shot. :) My camera did not gather any dust that day. There were birds playing in the tall weeds out back and I even had a gorgeous Blue Bird at my feeder, but the picture didn't turn out. :( I love watching them fly around and it never ceases to amaze me how they can land on a single weed and it dosen't fall over or break off. (Let's play, find the Sparrow!) Most of the day was spent cleaning and cooking for the company that was coming the next day, intermingled with seeing to the needs of our two year old daughter. She is such a busy little person! :) We played with blocks, hide and seek, colored, and finally she wanted me to read a book to her. So, we sat on the floor in her room and I read short Mother Goose Rhymes to her. I felt her hand slowly work it's way up my arm and onto my cheek. (That's a major, "I'm tired", sign.) Sure enough she was drifting off to sleep. I had no idea what time it was, 'cause there's no clock in her room, but I went with it and held her close rocking her to sleep. One of those Kodak moments, but for some things in life there are no pictures only sweet memories. :) I soon discovered it was 12:15 and we hadn't eaten. Oops! (I fed her when she got up, don't worry.) Once she was in bed, I really got my work done. By the end of the night I had caught up on laundry, cleaned the house, cooked up a batch of Red Beans, (for Red Beans and Rice),   some buffalo stew, and deboned a rabbit, that was cooked to perfection in the slow cooker. (Shot on Thanksgiving day by my hubby!) My wonderful man turned that rabbit into delicous rabbit stew the next morning. (Sorry I don't have a picture) I can tell you it was the best rabbit stew I've ever had! :) By that evening I was tired, but feeling good. I looked out the window as the sun was playing with the clouds, before it went to bed.This was the beauty the Lord had for me to see.  From sunrise to sunset, what a glorious day! :)
