Thanksgiving Weekend in Canada

 Well here we are  October 6th. September just didn't seem to happen. I contacted Covid as the month started and that was it for the month. Sore throat , coughing, being extremely tired, and just not having any mo jo to do anything the month flew by without me. I am just starting to feel better and now it's time to start lists and try to catch up on life.

The gardens are screeching out to put them to bed.



 I have a few things done but there is so much more to do. This weekend (Thanksgiving) is supposed to be lovely. We aren't doing any family cellys as Iain is heading to a trip to Argentina ----- his 70th BD gift 2 years late ---- and the last thing he wants is a cold or flu. Holly's work and the kiddos school are rampant with Covid and colds. Sio is sick with a cold and her 2 kiddlys are just recovering.  Maybe I can get out in the garden and get a few things done.

Of course the house is in need of a good clean and tidy.  And there is always laundry to do. We are also decluttering and packing things in the event that we move in the spring. 

I have been going through my old blogs and others who are still blogging. I love looking back on them and even if no one else sees them I enjoy it. Blogging seems to becoming an ancient art as a lot more people are doing vlogs and have you tube channels. I am not that disciplined 

I have been doing a bit of apple baking this fall. So far there has been French Apple Cake and Apple Crisp.





My IG friend Monique has shared a few apple recipes with me. I may not get around to them all but I will give it the old college try. 

Friday was apple pie baking day. I have made one for ourselves and one for Miles. There is a pumpkin pie being made Saturday cuz Riley wants pumpkin. 


A quiet dinner just us.






Hope all my Canadian family and friends had a terrific Thanksgiving weekend

thanksgiving and a wee fall tour

 
 
A little table just for two
 
 
Our van N's decided they wanted to have the day to themselves .....
I love all the to dos involved in having a big holiday meal but I guess I will have to wait now until Christmas.
Since our oldest girl and her family including our precious kiddos are in Alberta the holidays take on a different hue.
Lets just say Nona and Bapa are REALLY looking forward to spending Christmas with our lil Miss D .....
 
 
It has been a very strange few weeks weather wise here in Ontario
Mostly rain with a couple days hiccup of summerlike weather.
 
 
HB is still working in Toronto all week only home on the weekends.
So garden cleanup has been left to me for the most part.
We have way too many gardens and with so much rain it is taking me quite a long time to get organized.
I am getting er done tho.
 
 
 
Garden #1  Before
 
 
Garden #1 After
 
 
 
 
 
And a few Fall decorations
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And getting a few Halloween decs out there
