Canada's Thanksgiving is done but I think I'll do a little more thanking along with the neighbours south of the border.  Sheesh!  Time to start looking out the windows again.  Winter is a yes/no thing right now.  But I think the temperature is going to be remaining below freezing and the snow will begin to pile up.  Ducks had their last swim, they are cohabiting with the chickens.  They do have their own good neighbour fence! 

I didn't get all the stuff cut down like I wanted so it'll be a busy spring.  But at least I'll know where everything is.  I planted some fall crocus bulbs and by golly, I'm amazed at the pitiful little flowers. Thought they'd just leaf out in the spring.  Hope they return!  My rabbit on a swing that makes me smile everytime I see the little guy is not put away.  I think the knots on the rope are froze so I'll get one of my muscle men to do that.  Then I'm ready to stack up my garden books, new and old, beside my bed!   I have my eye on 2 down at the bookstore and they are really local!

We have our own turkeys here on the farm and they are free range but they are coming into the gardens and pecking tomatoes, squash and delicate perennials! :(  DH isn't interested in the flowers but the garden produce is near and dear to his heart (read stomach) so he has come up with a plan for next year.  They will be at least four fences from my side and all I can say is Thanks!!!
