I'm thankful for so much this Thanksgiving, family, friends, still being able to feed everyone with veggies from the garden, a kid who is an amazing potter making a new pot for an old plant allowing new plant babies to grow in the old one.

Our class goose and I on the GO train headed to school. The kids loved it! They named it Shine and baby goose is Blinky Pie. I love grade 1 &2's. They cant wait to take Blinky Pie home for the weekend.

Some times you just have to sit on the shore and let the waves take the stress away.

My kid reminded me that tradition is important, so we went to opening day of the CNE, just like we have for 20+ years and it was so worth it. Ate too much junk, rode a few rides , laughed so hard, played a few games (hubby finally won at bingo twice). It was an awesome day.

My mom says I tired myself out screaming this morning. Orange deaf cats need to be loud to be noticed.

I grew my first crop of garlic! We have some early carrots and our first ripened tomatoes too. I love gardening!

On holiday visiting family in Alberta. I am blown away by the natural beauty and humbled by the age and size of the mountains. They were here before humans and will be here long after.

Today was a reminder of what sometimes happens when you try something new. 16 years ago, I said yes when a friend asked me to try dragonboating. All these years later, I am still paddling with the Wild Chicks, pushing myself, getting our best times, and having a blast.

I don't mind being early for dragonboat practice when this is my view and I have a good book.

We got an unexpected early morning visitor today. He was so handsome. Love seeing new wildlife in the back yard.

This is Willy and Sam. The brothers were adopted to avoid splitting them up. They are almost 18, one is deaf and the other has diabetes but both love treats and curling up next to you and though not the brightest bulbs, we love them so much.

For years, my MIL baked for her kids and grandkids. Now we bake for her. Dementia is a cruel disease, but I have a chance to thank her for the years of care she gave the family.

It's a winter wonderland. Somewhere under all that snow is a garden with metre tall raised planters. So much shoveling.

We were in Yellowknife for Christmas and saw these cool willow ptarmigans. They look like snowballs. Only bird I know that changes its feather colours, it is mottled brown rest of the year to camouflage on the ground.
