Today was our first snowy morning...
I am sure....only one...of many more to come...
I had finished my front planter last weekend...
The snow made it even prettier♥
My daughter had bought me some rather interesting greenery this year....
Love the variegated cedar!
It has green mini-lights in it....very dramatic at night...
*******
Hope you are all having a great day...
We had Miss V this afternoon...she is still sleeping♥
Poor little dear was pretty tired....
******
Heading out for dinner this evening...not sure where yet :o)
Hope you all got around allright in the snow...
Everyone safe and sound....

After my shower this morning...
While still in my washroom...
I could see a flurry of activity....flapping of wings....chattering of cheeps... outside my bathroom window....
A few even landed on my window sill...
I remember that this usually happens every late fall.... early winter....
The Starlings arrive....
By the !00's....
All scavenging for the berries...
Along the house....from the Boston ivy.....
I couldn't take any pictures thru my window...as the screen distorts the picture...
Sooo...
Out I go ....into the back yard....and of course they all flew away...to the
front of the house...and settled in one of our big maples beside the
driveway....
Far from where I was standing...
But...of course...I had my trusty zoom with me.....zooooom to the front tree...
Got a pretty decent picture I think....
But they would not come back to the berries while I was out there...
This is what all the hub-bub was about....these shrivelled up berries!!!
I guess if you are a Starling.....these are absolutely delicious!!!!
As you can see from the sky in these pictures...it was a VERY dull day indeed...
Think there is a storm pushing in for tonight and tomorrow...
Not supposed to affect us here too much...
But my American friends...who will be travelling for Thanksgiving...
May find it a wee bit difficult to get around....
And for the Maritimes.....lots of rain!
*******
Got a bit of sewing done today...and..oh yes...I got a hair cut!
Now I can wine and complain about how short it is for a few weeks!!!
What a pain I am....at lease I can admit it!!!!
*******
I want to get one of those cute little deer that light up....
To complete our festive decor...
*******
Hope you are all having a great day....
I am fighting another cold.....:o(....it is neverending!
Going to go and crochet....finishing off another present♥
Enjoy the rest of your day...
Got your tree up yet????
**********
On the menu tonight....
Boneless Chicken Breast....Rice....Zuchinni,Mushrooms and Green Peppers
Cheers! :o)

While driving to the cottage last week...
We took a slightly different route...
And came across this great little horse farm...
Out on a gravel road...
They were just having their morning snack...
They were very friendly...
Aren't those big blue eyes beautiful!
Came right over to the fence to say "Hi!" to me and my boyfriend...
I think we will be taking this alternate route often...
And visit with our new friends!
A wee bit further along...
We spotted this guy...
High up in the trees...
Scouting for HIS morning snack!
I zoomed in...
And captured his elegance...
He must have spotted me....as he flew to a nearby hydro pole....
As my boyfriend waited patiently in the truck for me♥
Sharing this Gerbera Daisy with you all today...
It was just a couple of months ago, that I brought her home...
And this past weekend, she actually put out a new bloom...
But...
Definitely...
Not this big and beautiful!
Hope you are all having a great day....
Kinda cold...and still blustery here today...wee bit of sun earlier...
Now...the clouds have once again rolled in...
******
Miss V is napping....♥♥♥
Scotch broth is simmering on the stove....
I made this from one Lamb Shank that was left over on Friday night...
We will have that tomorrow night...with a nice sandwich or salad...
*******
On the menu this fine Monday night...
Pepper steak served over No-Yolk Noodles...
Side Spinach salad...
Enjoy the rest of your day...
