The coldest Thanksgiving I can remember!

The temperature at 7am under the shed behind our house reads 26 degrees!

















The temperature on the front porch read just under 30.


















Everything is covered with a hard frost and water in livestock pans is frozen.  We had about 9 hours of freezing temps!

















The Marines fur babies just snuggled in deeper when I asked if they wanted to go potty.


The turkey is in the oven.  I use vegetables under the turkey instead of a roasting rack....They are not pretty when the turkey is done but has the most excellent flavor!
















Tom turkey was too big for any of my pans!  I had to put another pan under his legs to catch drippings!

















The only purchases I made from the store this year was celery, carrots, potatoes and cranberries.  Everything else that will be served is a product of the homestead!  How awesome is that?  We are truly blessed!

Have a blessed, safe and Happy Thanksgiving!  I will later be thankful for some Florida Sunshine!
