Ghastly Greetings!

A Ganz windsock~cute eh?





Unfortunately these were carved on Sunday~kinda wilted by Tues night


Hallowe'en in the north and true to form it was COLD.
Sounded like banshees in the trees; the wind was blowing so hard.
Other than that, a lovely evening in the north!

October Morning


Cool, crisp morning here with lots of frost.
The sun was just coming through the birches
Brrrr, glad there's wood in the stove!

From Autumn to Winter in 1.5 hours!



On October the 4th, I jumped on the plane
and travelled down south to the thunder and rain
I left a sunny, bright and lovely fall day
which isn't unusual up here in T. Bay.

Arriving in Oakville, the weather had cleared
and my safe timely arrival had mother quite cheered
I spent the first night on open out couch
and found the next day to have developed a slouch

That next morning I acquired a shiny beige auto
and risked life and limb on a trip to Toronto
I missed the exit that would get me to Parkside
but found the right house therefore ending the ride


Webkinz on display

Took Erin to work next day bright and early
and spent the day shopping in the hurly and burly
All the stores were quite lovely but the real big winner
Was the gigantic IKEA we went to before dinner

Mom, slash, Grammy was collected next day
and we headed to Puslinch about an hour away
We were happy to visit and see the new laddie
(and also his brand new mommy daddy)

Thanksgiving supper was hot and delicious
and before we knew it we were doing the dishes
Great Grandma, Grandpa , Daddy and son
posed for a picture, then the day's work was done


Chloe out on the trail

The rest of the week, the weather was great
and time went by quickly at quite a fast rate
Time once again to get back on the plane
Going home to some snow (wished it was rain)


Our house and our dog in the snow...arghhh

Happy October!






Lovely day here, so Becky and I went for a drive to take in the colours and take some pictures. Not much variety here, but smaller bushes etc show some reds and oranges.






Coming home last night we chased a young bull moose down the road...what a hoot!
This is the moose we had in our driveway a couple summers ago, the one last night was quite a bit bigger.
