I had some running around to do on Saturday. One was a stop at my bank downtown and I was surprised by these lovelies! Sugar maples in all their glory.... on Alder Street. I stopped and took a quick snap or three with my cell phone. A gentleman also going to the bank machine said that its much like the blossoms in spring..... a few brief and glorious days of colour.
My timing was perfect everywhere I went. As you can see above, no traffic and any parking spot I liked. Same thing at the grocery store.... "you should have seen it here two hours ago" said one tired looking staff member. I breezed around the store and there was no line up at the cashier. I even got a flu shot with no waiting.
🍁 We have very much to be thankful for. 🍁
Today is Canadian Thanksgiving and we're foregoing turkey this year and doing a leg of lamb instead. All the prep work is done. Its just hubby and I as usual, and this year, that's okay with us as Hub isn't feeling too well.
He was out a couple of days ago and took these pictures down by the waterfront here in Campbell River where we have miles and miles of beaches like this. You can pull over and go sit on a log and watch the water for wildlife and shipping traffic.
The mountains are over on the mainland and as you can see, there are more than a few extinct volcanic cones over there! Well, we hope they are....
Meanwhile, here at home, this is the ornamental cherry tree in the front yard and our little 'burning bush' on the side of the driveway
The chestnut has gone golden and starting to shed leaves.....
On the weaving front: I have just completed 10 yards of towels and completed finishing, pressing and snapping the 'beauty shot' pictures. So a post on them is coming very soon. Towels are fun but they are a lot of work and take time, especially when you are hand sewing hems ! The spring loom is waiting to be reloaded and I think I will shift my attention to the Megado for weaving time. Enjoy the sunshine while you can..... 🍂🌞 🍁
