'Twas the Day Before Thanksgiving...

And all through the town, pies were lined up, so tomorrow there won't be a frown.

I'm not expecting we'll be eating pineapple pie tomorrow, but the pie stacks -- yes, there are pumpkin, apple and pecan, too -- caught my eye.

This picture seemed to sum up Thanksgiving -- minus the turkey and pie. I've got two bags of fresh cranberries in the refrigerator and will soon begin to make cranberry relish. It's made with two kinds of ginger, fresh and candied, pears and a little orange juice and it's requested every year for the last decade. It takes a lot of chopping, but it's so worth it.

I'm going to be back every day over Thanksgiving weekend and we'll be doing a quick giveaway on Friday. I hope to post the first of the annual Christmas in New York photographs on either Saturday or Sunday. Stay tuned, we're going to have fun in Buttercupland.

I'm off to cranberries. Whether you're in cranberries, pie or in the midst of turkey time, my best wishes for a great day before Thanksgiving.

As ever, thanks for visiting. I'm thankful for everyone in Buttercupland!
