Bright morning star

 

My favorite time of day here, drinking coffee and watching the morning sky slowly lighten to the east. Venus was shining in the window bright as a lamp at 5 am, surrounded by a shocking amount of stars, at least compared to Seattle, where it never gets completely dark.  

We had an uneventful trip yesterday on dry roads, who could ask for anything more, with a small turkey defrosting in the cooler and the car loaded down with food. The usual pit stops at McDonald's and Lone Pine for soup and pie.

A busy few days coming up, but promise to check in with some pictures. I'm thankful for many things, including connecting with dear friends and family for many years though this blog.

Thanksgiving blessings to all!
