Halfway Thru November....Already!! How About Some Fall Colours!!

I can hardly believe how fast time is flying by!!!

Seems like we went from a very hot humid Summer...right into Winter!!

October and November have been chilly...wet and dark...

Had our first real Snowfall last Thursday...and has been very cold ever since!

Let's enjoy some of the Fall colour that I have captured at the cottage...and our drives to and from...

The sweet Bird pics are here at home... 

I finally got a few Succulent planters done...

I used one big pot, that was quite overgrown, and made a few smaller ones!!

I gave my 3 kids each one...of the smaller ones...fingers crossed they grow!

My friend Jane,(Blondies Journal) has been asking for inside pics of the cottage...

This is the biggest room...where we eat...in the inclimate weather...and have our fires...there is another small room with our TV...

The chairs are vintage...thrifty buys...mixed with a new Ikea couch...and lots of tables that the original owners left...all from the 30's and 40's...

A very eclectic mix of furniture! hahaha!!!  But very cosy!!

There are 3 bedrooms upstairs...and a very tight kitchen and bath on the main floor!!!

I will search for pics of these rooms, for a later date!!

 

Hope you are all well...

So sad about the wildfires in California...😢

Cottage is closed for the Winter...

Dreaming of next Spring already!!

Any Christmas decorating??

I'll be back with more pics very soon...

Cheers!  :o)

Golden November.......

Where I live...
This November has been spectacular!!
At home here...and at the cottage...
We have had a lot of days, where the temps were in the teens...{celsius}
The colour on the plants and trees has been amazing...
The weather has been up and down as well...
Horrific winds...plenty of rain...and plenty of warm sunshiny days...
We have been able to get out, and enjoy the lovely Fall weather...
Certainly makes the Winter look far off...
And...
I like that!
Here are a few of my November pictures...
Hope you enjoy them...

                                           Here at Home...

                                                         And at the Cottage...

Beautiful,eh??

I am certain that your colours are just as spectacular...

Hope you have enjoyed them!

                                          ~~~~~~~~~~~
Today started out sunny...but...I am afraid the clouds are rolling in! 
Although...it is fairly warm out..the winds are starting to pick up...
We promised Miss V a bike ride after her nap...

Her and I prepared 2 banana/spice/raspberry loaves before her nap...
They have baked...the aroma is wonderful...
And we will enjoy a slab when she wakes up! 

Her Mommy is under the weather...ear and sinus infection...
She will stay and have dinner with us...
And...then...we will drive her home...

We are having pasta...ceasar salad...and some nice crusty bread, that Miss V and I picked up at the grocery store...before heading to the car wash!!

What a good wee girl she is...enjoys the baking...helping..."I am a good helper,Nana"..."yes you certainly are my dear!!"

We gave Red the apple core from her lunch...
Still waiting for him to come and fetch it...
He was enjoying all of the bird seed!! grrrrr...

Hope you are all having a great day...

Isn't November flying by??
First day of Winter not 'til December 21st...I believe...am I right??

It will soon be time to go and pick up a tree...
And start the Festive Season...
What fun!!

We think this may be our last chance for a sleepover at the cottage...
We are gonna chance it!
Who cares if your head is freezing while in bed....right?
                             
                                   hahahahahahaha! 

Enjoy the rest of your day...

                 Cheers!  :o)

A Girl...Autumn Leaves...A Broom...FUN!!!

Last week...

When Miss V visited...

After calling her Auntie Lissa..."HI Lissa...is Lola there?"

After doing her Bubble Guppies puzzle...

We went outside...to ride her bike...and play in the leaves...

We had a ball....right Miss V????

        Hope you are all having a great day...

                    I was busy busy busy...

              Finally renewed my passport...gawd...what an ordeal!!

         Picked up a few things at Walmart...

         Headed home ahead of the rain...geesh...will it ever stop???

                               Busy in the kitchen...

               Made a Blueberry Buttermilk Breakfast Cake...

  
                                        YUMMY!

       



       And an encore Apple Pie Bread...the other one was simply scrumptious!

                  Made a HUGE mess in the kitchen...got it all cleaned up...

                    Just in time...

                       To make another mess...

                         And make some meatloaf for dinner...

                         Do any of you grate carrot into your meatloaf???

            I do...it adds a lot of extra moisture and texture...fabulous!!

                    SO...tonight is the aforementioned Meatloaf...

           Roasted Root Veggies...and the boyfriends favorite...Bok Choy!

                   Been doing some crocheting in the evenings...

    How do you pass the time...and...what's cookin' in your kitchen tonight?


                    Enjoy the rest of your day...

                       Cheers!   :o)
