Turkeys on Parade part one

I am a early morning walker.  I am blessed to live in one of the most exciting cities in the world  "The BIG APPLE".  Before my city gets ready for the Santa's arrival.  We gussy up for turkey time.  In the next two weeks  I will be adding interesting window displays in honor of our beloved all american bird.

When the city is awakening from slumber is the best time to window shop.  This is La Maison Du Chocolat on Madison Ave.  TOM is surrounded by festive orange plumes and the cuties lil hat.  what a fab center piece he will make on someones table for Thanks G

more goodies from LA Maison Du Chocolat.. little tommies!  Tucked into a napkin or as place cards on a plate..... as they say life is too short start with dessert first!

GITTIN READY TO TURKEY TROT

We were out with our cousins to the GreenMarket today .... And the cousin looked at me and said what's with the pumpkins, Halloween is over?   Ah my friend, I said....... It isn't over until ThanksG...Ya, think the pilgrims chucked their pumpkins out?..... No Way... They started baking and decorating with them.......Here's mine

a straw pumpkin, a sugar coated one too, add a little green paper , some strawberry corn and a turkey or two

a bushel or a peck?  A basket of seasonal goodies, greets our  guest when the elevator door opens

Top Hat is spruced up for the Turkey Trott

IT'S ROSY CHEEK WEATHER!  SO PUT ON A HEAVY SWEATER OR  WARM VEST & ENJOY THE MOMENT.  BOY DOES THAT SUN feel good on your back when you take a brisk walk.  The leaves that are left crunch beneath your feet!  I 'm thinking warm apple cider, a donut or a crisp apple..... I'm thinking THANKSG..... What's the menu going to be and how shall I decorate the table?   Warm autumnal colors of course! Stay tune to the menu and recipes.  Get into the spirit.
