First Signs of the Changing Season.....

-
You can hardly find the path for the leaves....this was last Friday - absolutely gorgeous day for a walk.  Lackie met his first horses on the trail - unfortunately I didn't get a photo of this meeting - maybe next time.
















The first batch of mincemeat tarts -- DH has a sweet tooth, and when he found a jar of mincemeat in the cupboard, well, we just had to have tarts.  (Fortunately I had pre-made tart shells in the freezer - and a full-size pie shell, so while not home made -- they were a product of my kitchen.....if you know what I mean.....this is a salute to our food labelling up here in Canada......

    Aren't those walks in the woods lovely. We think we are going to buy a Conservation Area season's pass next year so we can enjoy more outdoors near home.

    Mmm, mince pies, yours look delectable. I only make them at Christmas - we always make a wish as we bite into the first of the season.

Latest Life LDC Knits youtube episode is up! This blog post is in addition to the video update (I always think of things to talk about or write about here that I haven’t in the other platform :) ) It’s Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada! I’ve got a lot to be thankful for this year! We moved…and I’m so thankful that all went well, that we have made a great decision for our future, that we are settling in! I’m thankful, yes seriously, to Rowan Yarns for their Rowan Connect events! I like (ed) to go to knit workshops and travelled yearly, usually to the UK, for events. With Covid all that stopped. (I was just about to get on a plane the Thursday before Canada shut down, but miraculously had made the decision to change plans and not worry about the expense of cancelling.) Rowan Connect is the on line portal for all things educational for Rowan. They held their first 2 day event this Spring and I attended! It was great to be at home (in your pjs if you wanted) and be able to zoom into pres...
