Well, this has really been quite a delightful day.

A quiet, serene daybreak

Blue skies and sunshine to follow....

The neighbour's trees are turning that lovely autumn yellow, - 

their leaves falling

whenever a little gust of wind arises

so that the garden spot I look out upon

is jeweled with ripe Golden Delicious apples

and crisp fall bits of scarlet from the Sumac.

This is not part of her garden, per se

but the small fenced yard has a randomness

that is quite lovely amongst all the ordered gardens

in the neighbourhood.

Some pine trees, a pretty climber against 

the garden shed, a bed of tomatoes, a picket fence

and a hiding spot for numerous street cats

that I am forevcer shooing away from my

numerous bird feeders.

I went shopping in the morning,

with my daughter-in-law, - and that was a pleasure.

We had time to talk and discuss plans for Thanksgiving dinner

and before we came home we put flowers in the Church

and we went and did our civic duty, and voted

for a federal representative. 

I was reminded of the days when I was younger

and quite often the Supervisor of the Vote

in the village.,

and it was diffetrent being 'just' a voter

and not part of the 'crew'....but fitting!

In the afternoon Charles' neice (my neice in law)

came to visit on her way home to the Fraser Valley 

after a short stay in the south Okanagan...

and that was a great pleasure too!

I always enjoy her visits,  and..

she brought Tim Bits with her (as well as a friend).....

 the remainder of the Tim Bits is still in the fridge,

and will be a delicious bite before bedtime!

Beautiful full moon tonight..

A gorgeous end to the day

as it sails over the mountain tops

As we celebrate Thanksgiving this weekend here in Canada

I find much to be thankful for!!!!
