Lovely Fall Sunday

Sunday morning with the country mice – lovely, relaxed and natural.
Morning flows into afternoon, and my mate continues his cooking weekend –
a stuffed roast pork and sweet potatoes – recipe from the Beast.

Dinner is packed up and taken to Clairville to share with ma+pa hayes.
Great to share time together.

Grateful today for
a sunday morning with the country mice,
visits with friends and family,
and delicious food made with love.

Rainy Day

Walking in the rain with my mate,
Visiting galleries in the neighbourhood and picking up ingredients – for my mate’s ratatouille.
The aromas from his cooking draw a neighbour in from the street, a lovely treat.

Wellington is warm and cosy for the arrival of the country mice.
A lovely dinner shared together, a walk to see the halloween costumes and a monster movie too!

Grateful today for
romantic walks in the rain,
a delicious ratatouille made by my mate,
and for time with the country mice.

Reading

Planned today to get ahead and start reading the textbook for tomorrow’s new class,
discovered that reading in the sunlit window makes me sleepy…

Grateful today
for a warm sunny nap,
and for getting a good portion of the book read.

Thanksgiving in the country

A beautiful drive in the country to share Thanksgiving with friends.

Warm and toasty when it’s raining,
and ready for a walk when it stops…and what a walk!

We return to a delicious Thanksgiving meal that is lively and fun.

Grateful today for
the incredible autumn beauty we were in,
holiday fun with friends,
and for the invitation to share in Thanksgiving in the country.

650 – Turkey #2

A glorious day for our second Turkey meal with family.
This time with the Song family.

My recollections of Song family thanksgiving meals are of a Canadian / Korean mixed meal. This year’s dinner, made by rocketgirl, was an all Canadian meal – delicious and great.

After our luncheon, we go to the East Don Parklands for a walk. The forests are beautiful and massive salmons are seen swimming up river.
A beautiful and perfect thing to work off all the food…

Grateful today for
the wonderful summer like day,
a lovely Thanksgiving day,
and for all that is.
