These "Wonders" are some of our greatest blessings for which we should be eternally grateful .............


Rain .....




...... and wind began early last evening and haven't slowed down much yet, though the weatherman says that the skies will clear overnight and then we will see the sun for a number of days except for possible showers on Monday. That's good! ..... as Monday is Dumping Day in this area of Nova Scotia and we pray that it will be good day with no loss of life or lobster boats. My son is a lobster fisherman and has already survived a shipwreck, which was no doubt a hugh reason for my hair turning gray.
The Rescue happened while Gene was dragger fishing a few years ago. So, we'll concentrate on a good day for this coming Monday, and today I will spend inside alternately between knitting on a sock and repacking fabric, and I may even attempt to dye some wool yarn in the washmachine which can hang in the basement to dry. I still haven't been brave enough to show you what a diaster I made of my first attempt at food colour dyeing out in the sun last summer. Pictures are in my files. Maybe someday you'll get to see them. We'll see. :-)

There's a lump under the leopard spotted blankie on the loveseat. The lump is Dream. In true Basenji-fashion she is keeping a low profile as it is raining and windy. Basenjis don't do rain and wind all that well and when conditions are as they are today they can hold it forever.

Hope everyone has a nice day and my American relatives and friends are able to move freely despite their overstuffed tummys. Hope your Thanksgiving Day was a happy one! :-)

Sunshine & Balmy Temps . . . . .





. . . . . were what we experienced for the most part this autumn here in New Scotland. During many days at least one walk was in order; if not a couple or more. Dream, the Basenji, is with me in this picture. She enjoys looking at the water but is not inclined to venture in to go wading or have a swim. Today, with the weather turning colder, the winds blowing, and overcast skies threatening rain, Dream is staying inside snuggled under a fluffy blankie in her Momma's favourite knitting rocker. Momma has to find another seat for the day. :-)
