Today is Thanksgiving in Canada. It has been over 12 years since I last celebrated with my family. Now that I am settling into my English countryside home, I notice the ways in which the seasons change with much more clarity than I did when I was living in Brighton. The warm breeze that broke the cold snap of the week allowed me to wear a tank top while raking up leaves. The colours are changing. The birds are changing. I guess I will too…
Here are some things I am thankful for:
You.
Peanut butter and celery
Making flower arrangements with the scraps left around the farm
A recent bout of courage
The love that I have always wanted to feel and now do
Kids riding bicycles around in circles laughing
Lone red apples on trees.
Enjoy a day of thanks…

There's a place beside where I live called the Don Valley. It does not have the most breath-taking view around but once upon a time it was powerful enough to cut a large path right through the middle of this country's largest land-consuming city.
It's around this time (and it doesn't last long enough) that you get a wall of trees on either side that looks like a rainbow of foliage.
Missy and I made a date for tomorrow to stop and get some pictures.
Fantastic! I can't wait to see them (please post them).
I hope you are having a good long weekend.
