Happy Thanksgiving...

This is the only Christmas decorating that we've done.  I wanted a pair of these entryway trees and got them 50% off on "Black Friday"... Yea!  I didn't have to wait until the day after Christmas to get them on sale.

Dino started getting hay about a week ago.  He LOVES it!

I'm trying to over-winter these huge ferns.  We placed them in one of the
stalls to protect them from the weather.  We'll see if it's warm enough.

We still have a lot of clean up to do on the property. 
Scott just cut down this enormous shrub.  Future bonfire material...
Painting the kids' bi-fold closet doors white.  It was a beautiful day outside...

"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.  And be thankful.  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.  And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."  --- Colossians 3:15-17

We have so much to be thankful for - the freedom we have in Christ, grace, the freedom we still enjoy in this nation, four healthy children, the freedom to home educate, this property, all that God is teaching us, trips and travels, family and friends...Thank you, Jesus, for all of these gifts.  We visited Dawn's sister, Shannon, on Thanksgiving Day in Annapolis and had a wonderful meal.  Then we travelled over to Warrenton and visited with Scott's aunt, uncle, and other family members.  It was a very long, but great day.
