Pumpkin pie and bread

A chilly 27 degrees outside this morning.  It was very still and there was a bit of fog around in places, but that quickly gave way to bright sunshine.
I walked one of my connect the path routes.  Saw four deer along the way and a blue jay.  There were some small gray birds with white on their bellies and a strip of white on their wings that I saw when they flew away.  I looked them up in my bird book and I'm pretty sure they were Juncos.

There were a few people here and there that I saw during my walk.  Most of them were walking dogs.

With the sun being out and no wind I actually got quite warm and had to unzip my coat and take my hood down.
 
It was really nice out there this morning and great that I was able to be out walking.
It was a lucky day for finding coins.
2 pennies
1 dime
1 quarter
I walked 6.2 miles.

Today was a home day and I did some baking for Thanksgiving.  I baked some Pumpkin Bread.  This recipe is great because it makes 3 big loaves.  Here's the batter all mixed up and ready to be put in the pans and then baked.  Licking the bowl is a bonus. : )

For the recipe click HERE.

I also baked a Pumpkin Pie and yes, I do make the crust. This is the same pie I've been baking for years and years.  It gets baked every Thanksgiving.  Very rarely do I ever bake it at any other time of year.  The recipe is HERE.

Talked to my friend Bernice on the phone and had a nice catch up with her.  I do so wish she lived close.  She's been my friend my whole life. : )  We' never lived close to each other all our adult lives but we still have remained close all these years.

Hope you're having a happy day and don't feel stressed about the holiday.  Take time to enjoy the day and let others help!
Happyone : )

It is delightfully easy to thank God 

for the grace we ourselves have received, 

but it requires great grace to thank God always 

for the grace given to others.

Thanksgiving is nothing if not a glad and reverent lifting of the heart

 to God in honor and praise for His goodness.
