A beautiful Fall

Happy Sunday everyone! It's a lovely morning, looks like the sun is about to make an appearance. After a cloudy and wet start last week, the weather turned out to be quite lovely. It's a beautiful October so far. We've been spending quite a bit of time on the deck. It's not over until it's over. 

This past week was quiet. We had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner, our turkey was delicious and so moist. We ate most of it and I froze some. Coop and Spicy enjoyed some with their kibbles. There is just something about the smell of turkey that really appeals to them.  

We enjoyed a few walks by the lake. Some of the leaves are starting to change colour but they haven't dropped much yet. Yesterday, Russell cut the grass, most likely for the last time this season. I gave a big push and cleaned up the flower beds. We have lots of yard bags for tomorrow's pick up. Next up is to tidy up the garage, get the shovels ready, stock up on pet friendly ice melt and cover the VegTrug. We're almost ready for you know what 😂

Our birds are enjoying the food that we provide them. Yesterday, we noticed that the juncos are back. There were lots of them on the grass. This will be our first Winter feeding the birds. I can't wait to watch them from our kitchen window. 

Last night was the HABS home opener and they won against Chicago. It was a good game although I fell asleep before the end. That makes me so mad.  My friend Linda sent me a note to say that the HABS had scored a shorthanded goal...which I missed. I think she knew that LOL! Eighty more games to go!

Halloween is two weeks away. I haven't bought goodies yet, waiting until the last minute for two reasons...they should be on sale and no temptations in the house! We always enjoy giving out to the kids in our neighbourhood. We do it in such a way that is not disrupting to our pooches. More on that when the time comes 🎃

It will be a quiet Sunday for us. I will get the snuffle mats out later this morning, some fun for Cooper & Spicy. I am making a meatloaf for dinner tonight. Another meal that will give us leftovers. I'm all about cooking once, eating twice (at least). I will also do a little food prep for the week. Wishing you a great Sunday and a wonderful week ahead!

Cooper and Spicy are excellent Fall clean up
supervisors!

A slow start to Fall colours but this
maple was flashing some red on 
our walk at Edgewater Park.

The limelight hydrangeas are a wonderful 
dusty rose colour.

a squirrel comes along.

Spicy likes to take a little break every now and 
then.
