Pretty sight to come home to. Freezer door had somehow opened, when bottom door of refrigerator in morning was closed. AND it wasn’t noticed till I came home to find… yes.. a mess.
When you have lemons, you make lemonade – I cleaned and cooked what i could save and packaged the rest to be thrown out. What a mess. No I don’t drink lemonade… but, I have lots of cooked chicken, oysters, , shrimp, lobster, clams, etc. ready to eat, sigh,,, I am thankful that I was able to simply tackle the mess and deal with it., took several hours, but it got done.
The Universe must have been watching… I was nudged to go looking for containers to restock the freezer in a more orderly fashion… and I had come home with containers .. with the intent of take everything out of the freezer and restock it using the containers. Well imagine my horror and surprise when I came home and found the pool of water, ice (green) on the floor. a bag of spinach has leaked it was everywhere.
So dear readers, I’m sorry if I didn’t get to reply individually to your kind likes and comments.. I was busy being domestic, and as you all know.. that is NOT my “strong suit” The crows will get a feast this morning, they’ll be happy,

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who are celebrating this wonderful holiday today.
Maybe today I can indulge in a piece of pumpkin pie. I suspect there are all kinds of wonderful food dishes being prepared today, Enjoy! Share a smile! It goes a long way!
Let Gratitude show in your words and actions
When you live each day with a feeling of true gratitude, you and the people around you will be happy. Always remember to express your “thank you’s” out loud,
Do you ever get overwhelmed by the constant “noise” that seems to happen all around you… Doesn’t matter the time of day/night… we are bombarded by everyday activities that are not always “restful”. We can wake up planning for an uneventful day and suddenly find ourselves immersed in someone else’s drama.
“Now” is always the start of something new.
Leave the past in the past. What is important is “what you are going to do now.” Using the present as a starting point, move forward on a path towards improvement and progress.

Can you believe, November is almost over… the other day I noticed that the Holiday movies are back… I thought they happened only in December after the American Thanksgiving.. but, I guess not. (no.. I didn’t sit down to watch) I now put on “cat” music.. yup. YouTube has videos with audio/visual for felines.. who knew. The cats actually come by to check out the activities on the screen.
I also visited a SPIN site, Standard Poodles in Need (rescue & rehome) sssshhhhh just having a look… picked it up at the “pet” show I went to a couple of weeks ago.
Yesterday was a busy day, yet very tiring…. seems everyone around me is dealing with something, ie. runny nose, cough, chills, the drop in temperature, and the bit of snow we got, seems to have put everyone in a, “let’s go back to bed” mood.
While exploring I found a build that was set in an environment of swirling water incased by walls that let the open skies in and protected from elements. It was the sound of rushing water cascading and tumbling over the rocks, creating such a thundering and rumbling sound that it was musical, I found it was actually soothing. I actually sat on a bench and just let the sounds engulf my senses…. I relaxed… forgot about wanting to explore … and made time to just sit and listen. (will give LM below)
. In PL we celebrate Ancestors’ Day .. every 11th of the month. Service will be at 10:a.m. please if you cannot attend in person, join us for a few silent moments around 10:- 10:15 a.m. In Canada today is also Remembrance Day , in the States I think its called Veterans Day. It is time to express our gratitude for the love and virtues of our ancestors and those who have come before us.
Live today to the fullest
You are here today thanks to your ancestors’ virtue and Makoto (sincere effort). Remember to be thankful and live your life to the fullest so that you can pass this virtue on to the next generation.
That beautiful dusting of snow… a hint of what could be in the coming days/weeks. A gentle tease for now,
