White Thanksgiving

We are stuck inside the house for a few days after getting a bunch of snow! Highly unusual when the normal temperature is 49 degrees in November. The power is on and we have plenty of food, wine and cleaning projects to keep us occupied!



It looks like we will be smoking a turkey breast on The Big Green Egg this year. We will have mashed potatoes, squash, and green beans. Will brine the turkey and then make a spicy chili rub and use Alder Wood for the smoke.

With temperatures dipping below 20 degrees today, we are worried about some of the plants in our garden. Rosemary certainly doesn't like the cold snap and my precious Agave are only hardy to 25 degrees.

The sun came out today, eagles are soaring and the mountains are beautiful. A far contrast to the storm yesterday.






We drove to Langley against my better judgement stopping to help stranded motorists along the way. I went to see Madhu and spent a blissful 90 minutes getting one of her famous massages.

Today I learned of the passing of our neighbors Jack Russell Terrier, Rowan. He was always at our house begging for Dan to throw the ball. He had so much energy even as he got older and one must wonder if his little heart didn't wear out. He will be missed for sure.






May he rest here in peace on top of the bluff where he patrolled the rabbits, snakes, squirrels and mice for so many years. A trip up to Lyle's garden won't be the same without him showing us around.
