Post Thanksgiving Weekend.........

We had a lovely weekend.

Saturday:

It was lovely weather wise.  Spent a chunk of the morning doing fall cleanup in the garden.  Oh and looking up at that tree on my header photo of the blog and cursing how many leaves had to fall off it and for us to pick up!!!

Spent another chunk of time prepping blog posts for the coming weeks.  I finally got around to sorting out my Ottawa photos and writing various blog posts about our trip.  I am spacing them out so it's not constantly Ottawa, Ottawa, Ottawa!!  

Hubby has been doing some sorting out in the garage and found a couple of things to post on Facebook Marketplace, which I did; and ended up selling something that same day.  I will have an update post at the beginning of November of what I sold this month.

Spent another chunk of time doing my cross stitch.  I am getting faster with it, as I am familiar with the pattern she has done.

On an negative note, someone was having a party in the street behind us and decided it was appropriate to play their music VERY, VERY LOUD.  Had to put earplugs in to get to sleep.  I fell asleep, hopefully someone called the police after 11pm to log a noise complaint.  We generally live in a very quiet neighbourhood. 

Sunday:

Overcast day today.

Had a Thanksgiving lunch over at son's house.  Turkey and all the trimmings, and all tasted yummy.  Came home stuffed and vegged out in front of the tv for the rest of the day/night.

Monday:

A beautiful day weather wise.  Did laundry and some cleaning in the morning.  After lunch went for a walk.  It was shorts weather as it was so nice.  Came out and worked on my cross stitch for a bit and caught up on some blogs.

All in all a lovely weekend.

Finally one thing I have been eating for various meals since last Friday was this homemade Curried Butternut Squash Soup.  It's one of the best soups I have ever made, so tasty and "souper" easy to make.  In fact there is no recipe.  Just threw a few things in a pot, cooked it and then blended it until smooth.  A winner in my books.
