NOVEMBER TO REMEMBER

Not even halfway through the month and already so much happening. My dad's birthday was last week but it was Remembrance Day this week so here's pictures covering both. Walter Wyszynski did basic training at Camp Ipperwash ---- this would have been summer 1942, before he was shipped out to B.C. But the other picture is a mystery ---- who took it? where did the fawn come from? look at those shorts!  All a reminder of the meaning of Nov. 11. Lest we forget...




Early in the week was warm and sunny. Good for last minute yard work. 




Who's better at peek-a-boo?


Out on the bay there's quite a show going on. Freighters are coming (with salt) and going (with grains). Sunsets are early and far to the south. The full moon is early and far to the north. But another first after all these years --- choppers buzzing a cutter. Practicing rescue? boarding? 




Before the S-word the yard is full-on autumn. Deep fallen leaves, fiery sunsets, and smoke bush leaves morphing into vaguely indigenous patterns. An omen of the next paragraph?



Sure enough, this morning we have winter wonderland Snow! Fiery is now whitey. The house is frosted. And the car notes the calendar before getting swept. Is there more November to remember still to come??
