Welcome November!

Happy Sunday everyone! As predicted, Russell and I didn't really get that extra hour of sleep and woke up at 4:45 this morning....despite going to bed well past midnight after watching the Blue Jays game. Such a heartbreaking loss but they left everything they had on the field. Well done Jays! There is something special about how sports can bring us together as a country. 

So, here we are on this first Sunday of November. Our trip to Barbados in March doesn't seem so far away anymore. Time is going by much too quickly. This month is very busy for us with all kinds of appointments and a hockey game at the Bell Center. Christmas is now full on with TV ads and all. Much too soon for my liking. 

This past week was good. Last Sunday, we enjoyed another afternoon on the deck, all bundled up. Sadly, that's it for this year. Now we move inside and our boys won't get to watch the squirrels as much although they make a run for them when we take them out, as you can see in the video below. As much as we make them wait before exiting the door, they can't help themselves.  

Friday was Halloween and our neighbourhood kids ventured out despite the rainy weather. We put a bowl of mini chocolate bars on a small table by our front door, under the overhang. Nobody rang the doorbell as Russell was on guard duty, in a "I'm watching you" kind of mode 😈 Our boys took it all in stride. That morning, Merlot & Sherlock's Halloween photo appeared on Global Montreal News. I was quick to take a video of their first TV appearance (sound on). Such cute little munchkins 💕

We finished most of our yard work yesterday. The rain and wind basically brought down the rest of the leaves. We're almost ready for Winter. 

That's it for today's blog. We will go to the polling station later this morning. A big day everywhere in the province but here in Beaconsfield, we will have a brand new mayor after 12 years under the leadership of George Bourelle. Change is always good.

Enjoy the photos and the two short videos. Have a great week everyone!


Knock, knock....who is there? The
Boys on alert for trick or treaters!


Sunday deck time...everyone was 
snuggling and comfy on the couch.


Nothing better than play time for these fellows...


Snuggles, comfort and a cozy
place to rest and read...the boys
know how to settle in.


The majestic willow at Edgewater
Park was beginning to show Fall
colour on our walk this past week.


A view from the deck, the golden 
colours and blue skies made for a
wonderful contrast.







Halloween night, Cooper and Spicy knew how
to get the treats for their tricks...this moment
