….an of October and I’m still getting vegetables from my garden
I’ll probably be picking kale well into November. There are still lots of cherry tomatoes but as it gets colder the odds of them ripening on the vine diminishes.
…they say it’s not ‘if’ you get COVID but ‘when’
Well my ‘when’ happened last week and while I’m testing positive I’m isolating in my house and backyard. I’m happy to report that my symptoms were those of a nasty cold and flu and for the first four days I had little energy. I am so thankful that I’ve had my shots and boosters. It could have been so much worse.
I did have to cancel my trip to see my family on the east coast but I’ve rebooked for the weekend. I have to say that I was perplexed by the new rules for flying because there aren’t any. You don’t need to be tested and masks are no longer required. When I said I ‘had to cancel’ it’s not because the airline needed me to but because I didn’t want to infect my family or others around me.
When I do travel I will be wearing a mask on the plane and in the airport, in taxis and in stores.

As the weather starts to cool, I’m more inclined to don a warm cozy sweater, make a cup of tea, find a comfortable chairs and start reading. Here are the next three books on my reading list. The gourds decorate my dining room table at the moment.

Last year I was working on Christmas presents that I didn’t show on my blog because I didn’t want the recipients of these to see them. They have long been received so I can now share them with you.
DoBoy – grandson’s creation. I designed the pattern and sewed him up.
….this year it was more about the pumpkins, decorations and squash
Usually the turkey is a big deal but when it’s just the two of us, we tend to keep things simpler. Leading up to Thanksgiving we stopped at some favourite places and picked up some gourds for decoration, lots of vegetables and yummy butter tarts.
….one more trip to finally close up for the season
We got an early start to the day. It was a cloudy day with a touch of rain but the colours were spectacular.

….that can only mean one thing….he’s feeling much better
I can always tell when my husband doesn’t feel well….he stops cooking. Kevin loves to cook. Next to painting, cooking is his happy place. I’m one lucky woman. The only downside for me is that his cooking is so good that I want to eat too much of it and I start to pack on the pounds.
In the last week he’s made red pepper relish, basil pesto, sun dried tomato pesto, plum jam, chicken curry and an amazing pork roast. He rarely makes cakes but today he made an Irish Apple cake. We had to freeze half of it and I packed some up for my neighbour.

On my last trip to the cottage I stopped at Harris Farm to check out the pumpkins and produce. There were tons of pumpkins in all sizes and colours and part of the field had been set up for the kids to play games. They also took hay bales and painted fun characters from Winnie the Pooh.
…this is a new flower for me
