Happy Thanksgiving!


Happy day of thanks, dear friends!

Our Gratitude Tree.
Love this time of year for the chance to give thanks for my blessings.  To see family.  To celebrate!

We have especially enjoyed making "leaves" for our tree this year.  Here are a few highlights:

One of mine.
The Hubs's first contribution.  Funny man.
Big Boy's.  He is grateful for his family.  I die from the cuteness.
Have a *wonderful* holiday!

Peacock Love

Have I mentioned I am in love with peacocks?  It all started with this guy who I encountered at a wildlife sanctuary we visited last March:

Isn't he gorgeous?
Oh!  I think he likes me too!

Uh...maybe not.
Rear view notwithstanding, I still fell in love.  I even have a board on Pinterest devoted to my Peacock Obsession. There you'll find all things peacock-inspired:

I even spent several days telling my husband I wanted to adopt a peacock.  He cured me of that idea by sneaking around and calling out like a peacock, like this:



Note: the guy in the video isn't my husband.  But Hubs's peacock impersonation is just as annoying.

Okay, so I will keep peacocks limited to my decor choices.  As it turns out, That Mommy is more on trend than she knew...apparently peacocks were on display at the Fall High Point Market.  You can read all about it here.  So, is this trend totally fierce?  Or just fowl?  (Sorry).
