Its Now November ?!

Wow ! November already ! the months are just flying by aren't they?!

The weather has been a mix of all sorts as this is the time of year for it to be quite wacky lol . Yesterday was a lovely sunny with cloudy periods type day and the temps weren't to bad either the winds were chilly but all round a good day as Papa myself and Miggs were able to get out and clean up hopefully what will be the last big piles of the leaves as most of our trees are now bare .

                                            The sky's were soo pretty yesterday to .

 And after all our work and fresh air yesterday when we went in for lunch  Miggs was tired from supervising and snuggled beside her sister Harley and had a afternoon nap .

This morning was cloudy and windy but mild , through my window just as the light of the day appeared the Bluejays were in good spirits playing about in the yard .

Yes the leaves in the back ground have fallen after we cleaned up but its just the last little bit that we had left on one tree .

I left a few of my plants with seeds that the birds like to feast on and that the bluejays have been enjoying as they goof about the sunflowers wobbling and balancing  to and fro on them lol .

                                                   They are quite the characters to watch .
I have seen the Juncos about in our cedar hedges foraging but they always seem very skittish for a while when they return then after a while they realize me with my camera are just another snap happy photographer and will not hurt them lol !

We had our clocks turn back one hour yesterday  , it takes me a little to get used to it  though and I don't like how dark it is now either in the mornings or how early it gets dark in the evenings , our province is and country is in discussions about getting rid of day light saving as not all our provinces in the country of Canada do it .

           Well things have slowed down here for now  but in the next few weeks it will get busy for us as the Christmas festive time approaches  .

                                                               Until next time

Goodbye To October & Welcome November !

 I cant believe October is already on its way out for this year WOW ! The months are just flying by .

 Our weather has been chilly rainy and down right gloomy , perfect for setting the mood for  Halloween all though I don't think to many kids or parents will be taking on the high winds we are to be getting this afternoon through the evening on top of  all the rain and cold to go out trick or treating.


 I have seen a few of these webs hanging about the yard , and no I did not make them for Halloween actually garden spiders made these   , mysterious how they knew these would be fitting for this time of year .

                                     I found this guy in one of them just hanging around  .

 When the weather is less then desirable and keeps me inside  I do enjoy creating on my computer when its a  celebrating time of year .

 November 1st  ,  now the rush for Christmas will be starting for most . All the Christmas movies will be starting on the Women's Net work channel and Hallmark channel as well and some will be brand new  , I like watching them  .

 Our gardens have all been put to bed now and the birdies have been busy at the feeders we just have a  bit more of raking up leaves this coming weekend as the winds will be high for this afternoon and evening then all the trees will be bare .

The warmth of blankets , a crackling fire , cups of tea , hot chocolate and bowls of home made soup and stews are well enjoyed this time of year  and the smell of  scented sandalwood and cedar candles fill the house with a warm soothing cozy smell and the odd apple cinnamon crumb pie in the oven MMMM !!   I do love the cozy smells of the seasons , don't you ?!

                                So I will say Goodbye To October & Welcome November

                                                         Until next time
