Fall Colours

For those of us here in Ontario, the Thanksgiving weekend could not have been more beautiful.
The sun was shining bright and the days rose to temperatures reminiscent of the summer. I even managed to go for a very quick dip in the lake (literally in, dunk head, get the heck out!)
Thanksgiving weekend conversation with the family revolves around food (when it will be ready, hoping it is delicious, how delicious it was, when do we eat again, repeat) around the weather and the fall colours as the trees get ready for winter. This year we had lots to talk about as the trees that blanket our cottage and line the drive up north were truly stunning.
One of the trees that greets us as we exit the back of the cottage is a tall and skinny maple that always boasts the most beautiful yellow and this year was no exception. As a child i use to pick a leaf from the tree each year excited to share it back at school and each year it would wilt and brown before I even had the chance to get it back to our home in the city - a good lesson learned that this beauty, like so many things, are best enjoyed from a far, untouched and unaltered.

And speaking of colour, I spent my holiday Monday working all sorts of new colours into a certain part of our home. But since Mr. S reads this blog (at least he says he does) and I want this one to be a big surprise, I am going to save the reveal until he gets home in two weeks!

I hope you had a beautiful and colourful weekend.
