Happy thanksgiving!

i find it funny that tonight, while most Americans are sleeping after a thanksgiving dinner, we'll be in the air on our way to Australia! the realization that we're leaving today hasn't made its impact on me yet, so I'll probably become all giggly and spastic at the airport :p yesterday we 'tidyed up' the backyard, aka, raking leaves, cleaning out the chicken coop, raking some more leaves, now with chicken poo. ugh. not fun. it was raining the entire time, a light depressing drizzle that soaks you after awhile. I'm glad we'll be Australia soon, where its summer and the average temp. is 80 degrees. a bit to hot for my liking, but better than the gray skies here in Seattle.
