Not the best day for a bake sale

I knew it was going to snow a bit, but we were surprised by just how much snow we got! It did put a bit of a damper on our sale, though we still did very well and sold a lot of goodies. I apologise for the poor quality of these photos; I had to use my phone camera, which is less than mediocre.

By the time these photos were taken, we’d already had a lot of people through, and things were beginning to lull.

Dodie had a few Christmas decor items available, and they did get picked up.

The firemen across the way were showing off their new platform truck. You can see the amount of snow that had fallen before noon.

People came in by dribs and drabs, and we sold a lot more goodies before we closed up.
I fell in love with this ornament Lisette brought to decorate the table. Shiny shiny shiny!

These were available from Avon in 2003. I would like to pick one up someday.
 

Thanksgiving

It’s nice to have family around at Thanksgiving, and though everyone we wanted to have there couldn’t make it, we enjoyed what we had!

This is the “penultimate” cottage weekend for us, this year as most. One last weekend to relax and enjoy the beauty of the place.

Sheila and Kyle joined us for a walk.

Iain can't pass up a chance to undo some beaver work.

It was so beautiful and calm!


One of my favourite spots on the lake. Love this view, from Hefts' property.

There aren’t a lot of birds around now, so the woods are quiet and still.


Dandelions: the first to come and the last to leave.

We checked out the vinyard, where we’d been told the grapes were plentiful and not being taken by the birds for a change (few birds + a plentiful year = more grapes for us!).

This was Len’s vinyard, and he would have been so happy to have a harvest like this.

It took me about 30 seconds to find all these.

On Sunday, we prepared for dinner. Just about all set up here, waiting for people to arrive.


Sheila doing some setup.

It was a great meal, by the way. Many thanks to Dodie and Myles for an excellent turkey!
