Decorating for Thanksgiving


Yikes, Thanksgiving is almost here. I mean it is only four days away. We haven’t decorated the Woodpile yet. I got my bull horn out and made an announcement and asked for volunteers. The volunteers literary came out of the woodwork.


Bushy was the first to volunteer.


My cousin Vinnie showed up to help out


I even had a baby rat volunteer! (They are adorable at this age.)


First task was to get some corn stalks. These things are huge. I was dwarfed by them in this photo. It took all the volunteers to move them.


Chippy Jr. thought it was fun to play hide and seek with his friends in the cornstalks.



This young fellow is just about to try to find his friends hiding.


Here are the cornstalks decorating the Woodpile.


We need something more, maybe something a bit more colorful. Let me think about this a moment.


I know what we need a pumpkin! Phew, I never realized how heavy they are. I think this will make a perfect snack tray. I will put some sunflowers seeds on it now so I don’t have to do it on Thanksgiving day.


May be it wasn’t such a good idea to put the snacks out so early.
The kids found them in less than thirty seconds!


I can't bring myself to reprimand Junior for his bad manners.
I don't like to admit it but I acted the same way at that age. He's just a chip off the old block.


How did our parents ever put up with us as kids?
