Currently on a side table in the bedroom! The way the light comes in, I found it very relaxing.
This post for no other reason,is to just share a few current and pass pictures that I love and make me think of why I enjoy thanksgiving time.
After work today, Ill begin to prepare the feast of thanks for tomorrow. I have everything I need, the turkey picked up from the farm, and my aunt's favorite cookbook out and ready for parts of the meal. Ill prepare a few dished tonight to have ready to just pull out and put in the oven tomorrow morning. My aunt LOVED her Julia Child, as I was honored, she left the three cookbooks by her to me.
Ah candlelight.
My beloved material grandparents before they married.
My current turkey collection on the kitchen table.
Remembering dear Lilith waiting one year for the bird to come out of the oven. And yes, she waited THE WHOLE TIME.
Remembering Buster and my current Sophie from one Thanksgiving. It seems every dog I have is always a kitchen dog...meaning always under foot when in the kitchen cooking waiting for a scrap to fall. Sophie and Lily were almost always in the kitchen when I'm cooking.
When I lived in the old pied de terre who remembers when the wild turkeys would come out of the woods and roam the grounds? I'll never forget that.
The last picture is not mine but I always makes me chuckle.
Oh yes, I remember your photos of the wild turkeys!
ReplyDeleteAt the old place one never knew what was going to show up...deer, foxes, Guinea hen, flying squirrels and even wild turkeys.
DeleteLove the Photos
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll be getting stuffed
DeleteVery nice post.
ReplyDeleteHappy Turkey Day, Maddie!

XOXO
Back to you....Happy Thanksgiving.
DeleteThe "Eat Ham" sign made me laugh! And I need some laughs, so thanks, Mads.
ReplyDeleteGlad to make you laugh. I need some too.
DeleteLilith was NOT playing!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I originally posted this photo is was part of a series I took that day. She started out sitting like that, gets closer, then lies down flat but still watching over the oven. Still slays me.
Delete"There's a certain Slant of light, / Winter Afternoons" (Emily Dickinson). Your lovely photo of the table in the bedroom brought that poem to mind.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
That's perfect.
DeleteDo dogs ever not like kitchens?
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't think any of mine did.
DeleteThis made me emotional! Seeing photos of loved ones now gone, cook books left to you, the candles.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a lovely day on thanksgiving. X
A melancholy day today. Thank you, Christina,!
DeleteA lovely post! I do recall those turkeys, but the first pictures is just beautiful. And your aunt has definitely used that Julia Child cookbook! And all three dogs! Nice to see Lilith and Buster again.
ReplyDeletei always thought it was nice to see turkey in the yard for a change instead of cocks.
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to see the "kids "again....and touching to see them included in your post. I really like the picture of your grandparents. And the peasants. Did they belong to them?
ReplyDeleteNo Calliope...I found those at an antique market several years ago and they called to me. They are HEAVY too.
DeleteI remember the wild turkeys! Enjoy your day. May it be delicious.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day! My dogs have loved the kitchen too!
ReplyDeleteSx
Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy the treasured cook books.
ReplyDeleteHave you thought of putting a model of Donald Duck to complement your turkey collection?
ReplyDeleteHell no! I wouldn't want him anywhere near my table.
DeleteI love how dogs love kitchens the same way cats love the sound of a can opener.
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!! I only ever had one cat and know exactly what your talking about.
DeleteIt has been said that cats could rule the world, if only they could master the can opener.
DeleteHave a wonderful day, Mads....
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving !
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pix and sweet dogs :)
And what would we do without heirloom cookbooks and family recipes ?
Pan in Wynnewood
I agree! They were my aunt's bibles! I also inherited her recipe box.
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you!
Did you know that the Pilgrim fathers brought farm reared turkeys from Norfolk with them on the voyage and they ate British Turkey on the first thanks giving !
