Today was Thanksgiving in Lansing. We went to run some errands, then I made lunch, then we made buckeyes and whiskey balls. It was a great day, relaxing and hanging out. Perfect!

Thanksgiving - it was a perfect evening! Warm and cozy with family.

Thanksgiving - I made the desserts this year. I baked this butterscotch and pear pie, including making the pastry crust last night! It turned out really well...those are little cut out hearts. I also made a apple blackberry crisp with brandy that turned out fine as well.

I made onion gruyere bread! It started last night, and then it had to rest...quite a process! But it is actually quite good. There is something really satisfying about making bread...it's almost like gardening.

Battle Creek Holiday Parade! We had our vehicle decorated again this year, and all staff members walked along with a bunch of volunteers and dogs. It was awesome :)

I think everyone else had a good time, too. It was in the upper 40s and clear. Better than last year.

Bob went ahead with the camera and took all kinds of photos while I was walking. They turned out really good! It was a lot of fun. I love a parade.

Pennfield high-steps it, the whole way! They looked fantastic. Harper Creek and Central both marched as well, but Lakeview didn't. Shame.

This is Iris. She came to the shelter with her sister, Honey. She is 15 weeks old and weighs just a little over 3 pounds. She is currently available for adoption. She goes home with April at night, but has spent her days sleeping on my lap while I work.

Iris is a very good little dog. She's well mannered and consistently uses the potty pad or waits to go outside.

How could you resist such a tiny creature?

April with the chihuahua puppies she fostered. They both went up for adoption today. I know she's going to miss them.

Pretty sunrise. Difficult day at work.

Warm today, 70 degrees or so. Perfect weekend, happy. It's been a good fall, and this warm stretch really feels good.

Homer here spent some time with me in my office this morning. He sort of reminds me of my Grandparents' dog, Gin.

It was sunny and bright today, but cold.

I thought the clouds looked like snow clouds on the way home tonight.

I don't recall seeing these leaves turn last fall. Pretty.
