october ~ gathering the memories

I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.
~Anne with an "e"
 

Morning fog...and turning leaves.



The final grass harvest of the year...

 

...all wrapped up and stored for the winter.


A mound of white blooms covering the arbour...


...and fresh snow capping the local peaks.
 

A Sunday afternoon hike up Teapot Hill...
on leaf-strewn pathways.


Helping Uncle Jake celebrate a milestone birthday.
 

Heidi hosted us for Thanksgiving Dinner...
where the grands had their own table.
Maggie and Lucy helped with all the prep...
and were the most enthusiastic of hostesses.
We had a lovely time.
 

On the farm...
Emme and Spencer spent countless hours playing with their nine puppies.
What joy!
 


And for our fix of fall colour...
we took a drive up to Whistler near the end of the month.
Beautiful in every season!

And those are just a few of my October memories...
gathered and shared.

I concur with Anne of Green Gables...
I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.
 

As the sun sets on the month of October...
the red oak is hanging on to its leaves.

And we have followed the birds...
south.

Wishing you all a wonderful November!
