My Day-To-Day Photos

There is a lot going on in this post - birthday, recital, goofing off, etc.  All because, I'm not keeping on top of the blogging thing, but all is not lost, it is just congested. I'll have to another post shortly after this one, because as I'm writing this, the house is all decked out and I have not one picture of it yet. Anyway, as you can tell by the photos, life has been good lately. First of - goofiness, more creepy really... Shortly after this snowfall, a large snow blower for the tractor was purchased, and then the snow all but disappeared.  Enjoying the new landscape. The painted snowy spruce I did for our a good portion of our Christmas cards this year. I figured the blog needed a picture of its photographer here and there, so here I am sporting a new do. After Jared finished his Toronto puzzle (I helped a little), we went on a jigsaw spree. This was the first we did, and we were disappointed to find it was missing a piec...

All sorts of things have been going on around here.  We didn't feel like were into that much of a hurry to get the yard ready for winter, but we just barely got done when the white stuff started to pile up. And now, we have about a foot of it and we're not even through the first week of November. It looks so gorgeous out there, and somehow, the snow makes it feels warmer out there.  Maybe it is just that cold temperatures are more acceptable when the world is white.   Jared is having some fun here with his little origami boat. This picture does not do those flames justice. They were high and they were hot. Todd just drives along the swath lighting it up with a torch as he goes. KK wanted here hair dyed red and turned out more orange.  We spent an entire morning trying to get it out. We even tried bleach.  For a temporary colour, it sure did take.

Happy Thanksgiving! We had a very nice meal on the Sunday but we missed Auntie Brenda and our newest family member, Uncle Stephen. I sent Auntie Brenda a bunch of texts from our afternoon, including several of the pictures below.  Gourds from my garden for the centerpiece! Buns from my oven, and I also provided a casserole of buttercup squash. They are not all for you Grandma! Waiting patiently for his meal. We just love having our photo taken. Always occupying herself with drawing. A riveting conversation always includes hand movement. Three deer, a mama and two young ones stopped by for a feast as well.   Happy 88th birthday Grandpa Fred! Another meal, actually there were two with Saturday night steak dinner and on Sunday, a lovely chicken lunch. With Auntie Brenda and Uncle Stephen both there, this felt more like the holiday weekend. UNO! And more UNO! Finally - my cake. Brenda - M...
