Autumn is drawing to a close and the first Sunday of Advent is here. It was a lovely fall, full of color and light, and a wonderful Thanksgiving. I love the rich red and orange of this tree.
Cabbages in a garden, all trussed up and ready to harvest. It is the season for making kimchi, so I think that these cabbages are destined for marinating in red pepper sauce so they can be eaten all winter long.
Haystacks - made from the rice grass left after the rice was harvested.
Layden serving soldiers at the mess hall. Just about every Thanksgiving, he puts on his dress uniform and participates in making sure the soldiers get a tasty meal. It is a good spread - Thanksgiving dinner is the showcase meal for the mess hall and they put their best efforts into it. This year there was roast beef, ham, shrimp, of course turkey, stuffing, all sorts of things like sweet potatoes and beans and cranberries, and lots of pie. Layden really enjoys this military tradition.
We had a similar meal at our house with several people who really enjoyed a home-cooked meal and good company. It was a great day.
It is hard to imagine that fall went so quickly, but it did.
Wishing all of you a very merry Christmas season.
