The boys are out of school and we&#8217;re enjoying the beautiful fall weather that has finally arrived in Austin. \u00a0There&#8217;s a Chinese Pistache tree that grows just beyond our back fence, and this time of year, the leaves turn fiery. It&#8217;s a beautiful sight and I enjoy seeing the tree through my windows while I&#8217;m working.<\/p>\n<p>This week, we&#8217;ve already reunited with old friends and we&#8217;ll spend time with more friends and family soon, too. I&#8217;ve come to love the relaxed nature of Thanksgiving before the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, and after a busy fall, it&#8217;s nice to have an entire week to relax and enjoy time together.<\/p>\n<p>I wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n<div class=\"linkwithin_hook\" id=\"https:\/\/www.walkingwithcake.com\/?p=7126\"><\/div><script>\r\n<!-- \/\/LinkWithinCodeStart\r\nvar linkwithin_site_id = 1395755;\r\nvar linkwithin_div_class = \"linkwithin_hook\";\r\n\/\/LinkWithinCodeEnd -->\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/widget.js\"><\/script>\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/pixel.png\" alt=\"Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...\" style=\"border: 0\" \/><\/a><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post is a day early, but I&#8217;m busy preparing for Thanksgiving tomorrow. \u00a0We&#8217;re hosting family and friends for a small and relaxed celebration, and I&#8217;ve been working all week to get everything ready.
