Happy Canadian Thanksgiving

[Catherine]

Yes it is beautiful fall weather. A few more days and the maples will be in full glory for you. Our maples are just starting to turn. I must go look at my Japanese Maples. Their colour should be more intense. All the trees I planted last year have survived and done well.

Note to new members: When I turned sixty last year I took time off work and stayed home and planted 3 Japanese Maples and a Cypress. I think that brings my tree count up to ten. For an urban yard that is pretty good.

Enjoy the restaurant dinner Cathie. You can enjoy a good meal and you won't have a kitchen full of dishes to wash later. Sometimes that is the nicest way to do it. And you are contributing to the Canadian economy.

Give thanks now. With the election in ten days who knows how we will feel on the night of the 19th.
