It had snowed a bit last night .. and it was cold and clear

DIane and I got there around 10 to help wiht cooking and cleaning. It was fun to be useful / Mx was in charge oif the turkey

Before dinner most of us (max, becky. Chad, Chris, Autum and Violet )  went for a walk outside..   On the way we foudn this hawk on a tree enjoying her/his thanksgiving dinner

It was a great meal. Autumn opened it by reading a piece on gratitude by Tigre. a local artist that nearly everyone at the table had worked with.  (including me.. I helped them a bit  witht eh fear beast out at teh playa in 2022) TIgre died tragically  in 2023.   .. His connection with this group was very powerful
