Snow, persimmon pie,flying squirrels!

Dorian and I have spent our thanksgiving weekend in northern New Hampshire with Nancy and Don. We are staying in a comfortably modernized cabin with snow and wildlife outside.


I have been the victim of many targeted snowball attacks from my uncle Don (the evidence is above). There are quite a few forest trails for evening hikes and strategic snowball fights. Thank goodness for a roaring fire and central heating!

Today there was lots of cooking that resulted in lots of tasty food. There was a candied pecan "neatloaf", a big hit with even the meat-eaters, and brussel sprouts. Persimmon pie for dessert gave our evening a strong finish.

After a very Roman style eating fest we got to watch the flying squirrels stuff their cheeks with seeds at the bird feeder. I'm glad to know everyone is getting fed today!
