Just in time for Thanksgiving! The snow has covered everything up, but the turkeys will find whatever is there.

A fresh coating of snow overnight. Everything looks a little brighter & cleaner. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Afternoon: rain is letting up, snow is still with us. Fog drifts over the field and in the Mohawk River valley to the north.

Foggy, rainy morning with temperatures in the mid-30s. Lots of indoor housework to do.

It’s not unimaginable. This is the same peace deal the kremlin peddled to Trump in 2016 via Kilimnik. And don’t forget Jared’s multiple Middle East “peace deals” that never included Palestine. There’s been like three of those.
Himes: "This shows Steve Witkoff almost literally sitting side with the Russians on this ... it's unimaginable to consider the fact that you would propose a peace deal that the Ukrainians didn't even know about."

On this date 8 years ago: the dawn sky. There wasn’t much snow on the ground, but we had already been skiing around the yard.

So Trump calls for six serving members of Congress to be hung. The Sec Def calls for a serving Senator to be recalled to active duty to be Courtmartialed. All for saying military personnel can refuse ILLEGAL ORDERS. Absurd. Separation of powers. Statement inherent in the UCMJ.

Of course—because there is no Trump health care plan.
absolutely incredible -- CNN host introduces a segment about Trump's "new healthcare proposal," but less than two minutes later breaks into her script to announce "breaking news" that Trump's healthcare proposal is being postponed

Shades of Iraq.
Rep. Salazar: "We're gonna be doing a favor to us, to our children, to our economy, to our oil companies to be able to liberate. And to Venezuelans who wants to be free."

Holy shit! This is what I'm talkin' about. David Clayton is running for congress in North Carolina's District 5 against MAGA Republican Virginia Foxx — and this is how he introduced himself. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

Part of the weekend’s work: 10 pints of marmalade. Some are to give to family and friends during the holidays.

Little red squirrel has hulled all the nuts in the basket and stashed them, so I guess it’s time for me to clean up the mess he left behind.

This is the kind of community I live in: caring, giving, supportive. They don’t put up with any bullshit but if you really are in need, they are there for you.

Little red squirrel hulling a black walnut. Wait until the end when he dashes across the yard to his stash in the woods.

Little red squirrel is raiding the bushel basket w/ leftover black walnuts. He can hull a nut quickly & then run across the yard to stash it for the winter.

It’s time to make marmalade again. My husband made this every fall just before the holidays, & I make it now in memory of him. It makes the house smell so fragrant.
