Holiday Season Begins

Holiday colors along the river.

We pretty much took the week off not worried about getting blog material. Still we can share a few smart-phone snaps from a fishing trip and Thanksgiving meal prep. Pandemic limitations have eased some and we plan on sharing Christmas dinner at a family gathering. But this holiday week we’re sipping whiskey by the fire and enjoying a quiet read.

Low and slow turkey

In Central Oregon winter starts up around this time. There is often snow on the ground, for sure in the mountains, by Thanksgiving. On the other hand, weather is always changing … this week was a good example.

Started the week with a sunny, almost spring-like day on the Crooked River. Weather reports were showing snow leading up to Thanksgiving.

On Tuesday it did snow, pretty much all day. However, by Wednesday only the well shaded areas still held patches and Thanksgiving day broke cold but sunny, a perfect day to BBQ a turkey breast.

Hope you all had a good feast to start the holiday season.

  1. Appears you had a relaxing holiday week. Ditto for us. The occasional moose dropped by to munch on our pumpkins, temperatures hovering in the single digits with some below zero, and red king crab with salad for Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks for continuing your blog. It’s a good read every Sunday morning.

    1. Mon!… thanks of the comment. Enjoy hearing from you and glad things are going well up north though it sounds a bit toooo cold for me :). King crab for thanksgiving … perfect. We’ve been enjoying some AK King Salmon, purchased via local coop, and OR crab season is just starting so might pick up a few of them soon. Happy holidays to you and Wesley.

    1. Saw the cake pix on Slack … nice work sis. Still working on some left overs but were a bit more circumspect in the prep this year. And there’s a pumpkin pie, which you can’t really freeze, so we have that to work on :).
