HARVEST DINNER

Tonight I had my sewing friends over for dinner and we had a great time. On the menu was curried pumpkin soup, ham and spinach quiche, salad, appetizers, apple cider, wine and for desert we had pumpkin roll. I love getting together with these ladies. I took a couple of pictures so you could see their happy faces.

Table is set waiting for their arrival.

A GORGEOUS MORNING

Such a gorgeous morning to go for a walk with the dogs back to our bush. I just love this time of year, the smells, the colors, and the cool temperatures. I took a couple of pictures of some sights on our walk.

Our firewood for heating this winter.
Needs to split and stacked.

Kit loves to get into the pictures.

I am loving the fall colors this time of year.

HAPPY CANADIAN THANKSGIVING

Happy Thanksgiving here in Canada. A gorgeous weekend and the colors are just spectacular. This is by far my favourite time of year. Pumpkins, gourds, fall mums and Turkey dinner with a the fixins.

Last night was spent with friends enjoying a delicious turkey dinner. I just had to take a couple of pictures of the table setting. Just beautiful!!! 

Lovely table setting

A WINDY DAY

While standing at the sink doing dishes, I heard this loud crack and I saw our old tree come down. Thank goodness it fell away from the house or it would have been a disaster. More firewood for next winter.
