Bits & Bobs From This Past Week

It has been quiet here over the past week not much going on at all . The land is pretty bare and boring and not a lot to photograph really , it tends to get like that for a while until the weather  and season changes again , all though it has been very mild and sunny here today . I don't think we will be getting much of a winter this year again even though they say we will be getting a typical Canadian winter  which I find hard to believe as our typical winters used to start at the end of October with lots of cold and snow and go right up until spring , but that hasn't been happening for a few years now thanks to the climate change, maybe farther up norther Ontario the winter will be typical but not down here in southwestern Ontario I think not but one never knows eh?!

We did have a nice get together with some of our neighbour hood friends for a nice brunch this past Sunday at a lovely restaurant/ Inn in town called the Mill Tales Inn . It was once an old flour mill back in the 18oos  converted  into this lovely Inn and restaurant , the brunch buffet is YUMMY ! Good food and company for all !

Yup that's Papa in the photo above standing up there to the left of  the photo taking photos to lol !

           It was a nice time . I see all these people at this table almost every day on Miggs and my walks and they just love to pat her and give her cuddles and the odd treat  .

Miggs and I have been enjoying our morning walks still and being out in the yard  all though some days  have been chilly it is still nice to get outside for a while .

 

I have taken a few pics here and there but again it is quiet out this time of year . I like to be able to see the nests in the trees now that the trees are all bare . Such amazing construction to them .

  This nest is very tiny about the size of the inside of my hand build in our Japanese willows  . I think it was one of our  hummers nest .

This nest is way up high in our big old 150+ Manitoba maple  near the top . It is a squirrels nest .

As I was searching around for more things to photograph I spotted this little guy on our Chiminea lid. .

                     I guess the mild temps and sunshine has brought him out for the day .

Well it is that time of year where we all get prepared for Christmas and some of us join the shopping crazy crowds from now till then . This year Papa and I will be having a quiet Christmas maybe go to the in-laws before Christmas to see family as most will be busy visiting other family members over the holidays . We don't know yet if our kids will be coming down over the holidays this year as they have other sides of family to see as well but I am sure we will be hearing from them if they cant make it down .

I would like to wish our American blogger friends a Happy Thanksgiving weekend .

Well that's about it for me here . I will be in and out of blog land mostly out lol  as I am sure much of you will be to as the busy time of year gears up  .
           
                                                          Until next time .
