Missing my garden, and sunshine, and summer...

I know I haven't been posting as much recently, and I think it is because I don't have any more garden news or photos to share. I really loved my garden (as you can tell if you saw my slideshow of the garden photos) and I miss going up there and just looking around at the flowers. Everything is dead now, and it is depressing. I also feel tired so much earlier since the sun is down by 5pm. Yuck! I miss the sun! I know there are those who enjoy the winter weather activities, but I don't really enjoy them myself. I don't mind ice skating, or sledding for that matter, but I'm not checking the ski reports...
The depressing part of winter in CT is that we get this cold weather, but we don't even get the pretty snow to make it seem worthwhile. It's just cold, dark and yucky. : (
Here's hoping for at least one significant snowfall and at least one snow day.
None of this snow changing to sleet, changing to rain, changing back to snow- Please.

Are you ready for the holidays?

With Thanksgiving only a couple of weeks away, it's time to prepare for all the craziness of the holidays. I never remember how to cook the turkey, so here is a link to the turkey tip page on the Food Network website. They even have a calculator to figure out how long to cook the turkey based on its weight. The only tip I have is that I cooked the turkey two years ago with garlic inside (I don't do stuffing) and it came out very tasty. If anyone else has tips or favorite recipes send them along! More ideas to come!

Love it!
