Sunny Days and Sunrises

Yesterday was a beautiful Fall day, made even more beautiful with a magnificent sunrise. A walk in Helliwell Park revealed the last of the morning's sunrise. Is there a more inspiring way to start the day?

Another fall harvest of apples has come and gone and our pantry is now FULL of bottles of sweet, sweet apple juice. We're going to follow the old adage of 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away' in a wonderful way this year ...

Scrumpdilicious!

After a wonderful afternoon spent at Tribune Beach for the International Day of Climate Action rally (www.350.org), I went home and prepared one of Peter's favourite meals - Tarte Lyonaise with salad. We invited our friends Doug & Rachelle to share it with us and they brought a wonderful nutty coleslaw that Rachelle 'whipped up'. I am still experimenting with the pastry and this one turned out as beautiful to look at as it was yummy to eat. Might have to do this one again!

What's new?

There I was, just sitting at my desk, minding my own business this morning, and what do I see out of the corner of my eye? A rather large bird flew across our backyard and up into a tree just outside my office window. So I took a photo of it, studied it for a while and watched it dive down to the ground, catch a garden snake, then sit there in the tree and devour the snake. Ah, how wonderful to have nature right on your own doorstep!

The only other thing new these days, is that Peanut came to the rescue and got our genuine German-made Cuckoo Clock working again! I was quite excited as it hasn't been cuck-cuckooing for many years now with all our moving around and whatnot. So now we have both the grandfather clock and the cuckoo clock ticking away in our living room. Tempus fugit!

Fall Harvest

Ann dropped off these Fraser Valley tomatoes. OMG, they are good!

"Dog Patch" apple picking in progress. We should have thirty plus gallons of apple juice in a couple of weeks if anyone is thirsty. Above is a photo of a perfect apple eaten immediately off the tree after a "fine" shinning.
