two weeks into november..


i know...
it's been a very quiet blog.
i blame my new phone.
i blame instagram.
i blame lots of rainy days.
i'm sorry.


i went to a lovely foodie bash...
i should blog about it and
i will, but first a quick catch up.
i made this soup.
butternut squash, parsnip and apple.
i had something like it at the event and i LOVED it!


we have had a few (like two) bright sunny days.
i sure soaked them up,
played happy music...
danced...


a few days ago
i popped into the antique store...
not sure what led me to find this little pup.
he was in a glass display..
very well hidden.
he is so tiny and sweet.
mine.


it certainly becomes nice and cozy around here
right about the time dinner is being prepared.
getting dark outside so early...


smell it?
mmmmmmm.....bacon for our salad...


we've had lots of these pretty silhouettes. 


and lots of down time.


 but something else is very different around here...
emma went to b.c. for 3 weeks.


 we're missing her.


thanks for remembering to stop by...
i think i've missed my nikon too.

changes...


i took this photo just a few days ago...
many of the leaves have since dropped.
the air has that familiar feeling...and smell.
snow is on the way.


elsie perched our turkey in a nest...
we had our thanksgiving dinner.
the house was full and warm and noisy.
everyone ended the night with full tummies
and hopefully hearts full of hospitality and love.


it won't be long before the oranges and golds
will be replaced with the reds and greens...


our home will once again be the scent of cranberry...


and decorated with touches of furry cuddle muffins.
