Winter is Here

November12th, first fire in the woodstove of the season! We had a real cold snap for a week, got some snow and now it has been mild for a week and the snow is almost gone.

This month has been fairly busy for me with a few short get aways and made a couple new acquaintances.  Yesterday I went shopping and got the majority of my Christmas shopping done. Today I am working on a few saws that need to be painted. I have procrastinated long enough! Once my paintings are caught up I will be able to focus on Christmas baking.

Next Saturday my friend Carrie is coming over to make sugar cookies, a new tradition we started last year, so much fun baking with friends!

Billy did his usual house decorating and tree set up on the afternoon of Remembrance Day. It's so nice to sit in the living room at night with the woodstove going and only the Christmas lights on with some music playing...very cozy and relaxing.

I am looking forward to another trip to Nova Scotia in December to deliver some baking and gifts to a great friend. As always nice to get away and even better to have a nice face to face visit with people I don't get to see very often.

Everyone here is happy and healthy, looking forward to the holiday season. Even Copper and Frankie!

Frankie met a girlfriend on the 24th too! Her name is Maggie and they had a very active first date.
Hopefully we are going to see the results of that meeting on or near January 25th. Grandpuppies!!!

My friend Andrea came up for a coffee one afternoon and together we did a painting of a snowman...I had done this one a couple years ago but gave it away so this one I am keeping.
That's all my tidbits for November.  See you back here closer to Christmas!!
