The Thanksgiving walk!

     After Thanksgiving dinner, when you are so stuffed it is hard to move, but there is still pie to fit in... how do you do it? Well, that is where the annual Thanksgiving walk comes in. I saw on TV where there is a lot of walks for charity early in the morning before you eat the big meal but the best time is right after the big meal. It helps settle and burn it off. And makes room for more food.

Here we are starting out to walk the woods behind Aunt Patty's house.

Not everyone made it the whole way to the end of the property. This is no run for the finish line this is a bunch of overly stuffed Americans waddling their way as best possible around in my Aunts back 40. The kids love it cause it is usually when they are getting antsy and gives them something to do.

JR leads the way!

There is a lot to see back there in the yard and Aunt Patty is adding to it all the time.

JR checking out a figure in the garden.

There is a family of box tortoises that make the yard their home.

The former owner left a lot of interesting things lying about. This one is a giant ceramic power pole thing that Aunt plans to make into a planter.

Aunt Patty's puppy likes to look at the figures in the garden too.

There were a couple of pets who died recently (of old age)  and were buried under this tree. Aunt Patty said she is planing on
making some sort of memorial under this tree for them where she will hopefully incorporate the tree.

On the very end of the property is a sandy beach area.  

Even in the sand pretty little flowers were blooming.

Little fuzzy flowers that were fun to blow on.

It was Thanksgiving and we were just eating everything and JR thought the fuzzy's  would be good to taste.

He was wrong and spit them out all over his jacket. lol!

Hope everyone had as good a Thanks giving as we did and enjoyed walking with us. Now it's Christmas time already!
