This is what we awoke to this morning. Katy came skipping into our bedroom, quite joyful about it all. I just said, "Oh......".
By 12:00 the sun had come out and the melting began. It's a beautiful, fresh day. Even with the snow...

The keys to efficiency
Anyone who has lived in a house with radiators would know what these keys are for. For those of you who have never seen keys like this, let me explain. On each radiator is a small valve where these keys fit. If the radiator begins to gurgle too much, it means there is air in it and it needs to be released so the radiator can work efficiently. Insert the key into the valve, give the valve a few turns until it starts to hiss. After a bit some very dirty water will join in with the hissing and then the job is done. It's a very easy process but certainly makes a big difference. Just what you wanted to know today!

Blog thots
I don't think I've ever enjoyed the colours of fall as much as I have this year. Howard says that's because I'm seeing them through the eyes of a photographer. I asked, which photographer? (That was a joke, by the way). Yes, I am enjoying taking pictures like never before, and I'm glad about that because after living here for several years, it's good to see things again - for the first time. And, that's what has happened since I started my blog, almost 1 year ago! Thank you to all of you who have sent encouraging emails and have talked to me personally about my blog. I find I am doing this as much for you as for myself!

Sunday drive
No Green Giant
The farmers grow a lot of corn around here but it's all cattle feed. There's no Green Giant niblets or cream style corn in this neck of the woods, that's for sure. On Sunday we happened upon this homemade corn bin. There was another one on the other side with an auger leaned up against it. I suppose by now it's likely full as well, or I hope it is, for the farmer's sake. This morning the wind and the rain rolled in and at the time of this posting (3:00 or so) it was only 8 degrees. It feels cold. I came home from work and turned the heat on all over the house. It's almost toasty in here now. Anyway, this was your fall picture for today and I do have a few more that I'll post over the next few days to make you think that it's still warm and glorious and golden here!

Happy Birthday to our moms!
Today is the birthday of our moms. Yes, it's true. My mom is 3 years older than Howard's mom, but they were both born on this day. So, we wish you both a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and a wonderful day and we send all our love across the ocean to you!
And, because my mom loves cows so much, I took this picture just for her! Notice how they posed for the picture.

Today's Fall picture
Canadian Thanksgiving
On Sunday evening we enjoyed a wonderful feast and enjoyed being together as Canadians.
I only had time to take a few quick shots, and the one I did take with people in it turned out very blurry! So, you can imagine the bodies - all 64 of us.
We even had a few Americans in the mix who had shown interest in attending our party. So, the lady in charge said they could come if they brought 3 facts about Canada with them. Which they did. I actually learned some things about Canada from them. It was great to have them there and share our Thanksgiving together.

Issues
Our computer is having issues. I'm not sure what happened but we cannot access our photos at the moment, and I also cannot upload anything as well. So..... this is my post for today and I hope things will get resolved before our Canadian Thanksgiving Supper is too far in the past. I am trying not to be frustrated......

Good times
We've enjoyed a few evenings this week with some good and special friends. Monday night we had the RAs from Palmgarten over - Ellie, Bonnie and Lizzie.
And tonight Don, a former BFA staff member visiting from the States, was able to fit us into his busy schedule so we enjoyed a good meal and a great visit together.
