Fall consignment is still arriving daily, here are a few items that caught my eye

winter gear

With the first official snowfall of the season, it has left the trees and ground covered with a white blanket of snow, but the roads into a frozen skating rink!  take it slow out there! My crab apple tree in the backyard has robins all puffed up plucking a few frozen berries to fill them up for their long flight to somewhere a lot warmer. So although I wont be embracing the winter that has started way to early, it is more of building up a tolerance for the long cold months ahead.

Friday links

Somehow short weeks after a long weekend can feel like they never end! Trying to do all the usually things in four days instead of five is no easy task.

So welcome to Friday!

With the upcoming municipal elections this Monday, Oct 21, I came across these two links. Living where we do, having the right to vote is a privilege. We are fortunate to speak up, discuss and have our voices heard. Sometimes we may not agree with council decisions because we don't all value the same things. At election time it is important to listen to what the candidates have to say and cast your vote wisely.

There is much wisdom in both of these links today.
