More holiday-inspired pictures

As winter fast approaches, it is hard to get yourself motivated to have a "vivacious" shutter :)  This is just a quick post with a few pictures, but I will post something more substantial soon...I have fun things planned!

Anyway, this Thanksgiving we had the blessing of having some friends of ours stay at our house for a few days over the break week.  With lots of yummy food, chilly weather, and pumpkin pie, we had lots to be thankful for.  Here are some recent pictures of Thanksgiving and the snow that we have had...enjoy!

this picture sums up the feeling of winter, with the snow-capped barn and the cabin-style house 

snow + horses=cold chores

turkey!

during the week, we put together a 500 piece puzzle featuring the summer in Chicago

this is one of my favorite pictures.  CINNAMON ROLLS!  Making sweet rolls for both Christmas and Thanksgiving is a long-held tradition in our family

they were so good I had to include another picture :)

How was your Thanksgiving?  Is it snowing where you are?

Have you been taking good pictures lately or is your camera on Christmas break, too?  :)

May the Lord's blessing overflow your heart with happiness this advent season!

Fall Photos

As water turns to unbreakable ice in our horse troughs, I am reminded of the blessings of Autumn.  Winter is fast approaching with oncoming snow and ice.  Though the trudge to the barn is cold and breaking the ice is tedious, I enjoy the crispness of the winter weather.  Yet Fall is unmatched, with its combination of the last warmth of summer and the first frost of winter.  All that said, here are a few Fall photos from the past month.

poor Mr. Turkey was not quick enough :)

How was your Thanksgiving?  What are you thankful for?  

Do you like winter or autumn better?

Give thanks to the Lord for He is good
