THE ROAD TO THANKSGIVING (#1 of two posts today...)

Out for a road trip for leaf peeping! On the way, a stop at the Scarecrow Festival in Meaford. The theme this year is reading, in honour of the big new library coming to town. Lots of whimsy as the 'crows read in groups, at the porta-potty, on the ledge, etc., etc. Always fun to see. Then out to Bracebridge --- last spring the water was flooding up to the road level!! Lots of colour out there...








Back at home, lots of fall yard work. Clearing brush along the new path network. Planting a row of grasses. A toad emerges! A fish is relocated from small pond to large for the winter. And the chips are truly down...






It's Thanksgiving weekend in Canada. We're so grateful we live in the best country on the planet and we can work away with peace of mind. Do you prefer a wheelbarrow or a sewing machine? R whined so much that P finally made a pumpkin pie to fill the pie hole. And we're surrounded by exuberant fall colour.





It was also my mom's birthday --- if she didn't have a birthday, neither would I! And Canada's federal election is on, too. In our Advance Voting, I tried to honour Sophie Wyszynski by marking her X beside the candidate that had the needs of immigrant women in mind. What are you thankful for these days?



P.S. DON'T MISS TODAY'S SECOND POST ---- "3 ON THE TREE" and it's not a transmission...
