Thanksgiving

As I made my report on Icepocalypse 2010, temperatures had already dropped below freezing, and snow was gently falling like forgiveness, covering the ice and binding the gravel to the road surfaces, making them safe again. Today, several inches of fresh snow are on the ground, it's continuing to fall, and it seems that the ice storm was just a strange dream... I mean, temperatures above freezing? Rain? In November in Fairbanks? Couldn't have been...

Here are my Thanksgiving photos.

All I get for supper the night before, and lunch that day. Salmon and vegetable soup. I am reserving stomach space:


My entry into the pie contest, a pecan pie with cranberry and chocolate drizzles. Goals: To use up some of my quart of cranberries, and some leftover chocolate chips I had sitting around. Achieved? No. I only used a few spoonfuls of cranberries and chocolate chips each.

Isn't Chewie adorable? If he were mine, I'd never be able to say no to that face:


Yeah, what Chewie wants, Chewie gets:
