It's that December time of year again. There are literally hundreds of turkeys criss-crossing the yard and we wouldn't mind if a hundred of them wound up roasted and stuffed in a couple of weeks. The cardinals and blue jays are outnumbered and outpecked at the feeder. In Owen Sound dozens of displays line the river banks for the Festival of Northern Lights, but they're much more magical/whimsical lit up after dark.
We returned to Toronto just in time to see 6" of snow dumped on the neighbourhood. Ironically, I had been saying I miss shoveling snow! The short days, cold temps, and snow piles are already enough winter.
But the seasonal decorations are cheerful on the streets. The trees along the boardwalk have lost their leaves but gained thousands of bright lights in exchange. The usual characters including Snoopy, Frosty the Snowman, and Santa all wish you a Merry Christmas. And a surprise in the park --- a new version of the Little Drummer Boy?!

Yeah but it will rain in a couple of days and melt everything. Warm, cold, warm...... 52' F here today as we have changed to the warm cycle. Probably because I bought some warmer coats.
