// Serendipity Signs of the Times

SOGGY DAYS

These our days of non-stop drizzles, rain, and foggy landscapes have a way of creating the most beautiful blend of seasonal colours. Three quick snaps taken over the course of three days during recent everyday en route travels to salute Mother Nature, "Noted." Have a lovely week... 

// The Flow of Fall (in October)

Happy Monday(!) Wrapping up our October with a few made-me-smile and in-motion botanical beauties that are always telltale signs that we made it into and through October for another year. Our chilly-weather flowering cabbage (smooth edges) and kale plants (frilly edges) continue to be one of our delights during our fall season. More quick captures after the jump...

// Lemon Cream Ice Cream

It's unanimous. We support short work weeks and longer weekends. :) And just like that, without any hoopla, searching, contemplating, or even quiet telltale signs, a fun adventure for fall is now on the agenda-- and I'm pretty excited about it with a challenge in the mix... more to come soon. I hope you had a relaxing holiday, and were able to merge into the week, your way. Some of us needed that extra day to steadily re-align the necessaries before returning back to the office. We get that too. :) 

On to our flavour of the month: Lemon Cream, which was and still is a complete surprize for October, especially with just waving goodbye to summer. My planned flavour felt totally out of the loop with...

// Magazine Moments: Fall 2018

This season's online and offline magazine reads, and where I often find many moments of calm and inspiration each and every week. Above is a new-to-me magazine, The Simple Things, that's right up my alley with its nature-ful outdoorsy and indoor comforts and fall adventures for the entire family. Their Could-do (no pressure) list for October already has us thinking about another day-trip escape. Two more favourites after the jump...

// Have a Lovely Thanksgiving Weekend. :)

{movie night by candlelight; thanks Xeens!}

 

We were hoping for an accelerated work week as we've been ready to get our holiday weekend started, and we got our wish as here we are, and it's Friday! :) So much to be thankful for and we could go on for eternity and still not be anywhere near half of that list. Being able to read this, is a blessing in and of itself. But I think each year as we grow older and experience more angles of life, we are more grateful for our parents, with being able to go out into the world and honestly contribute towards something good, to work with and treat others with respect, dignity, and kindness, while also having the resilience to pick ourselves up from those disastrous days and get back on our horses so to speak. It's not always easy, but with our positive elders, immediate and extended family, friends who are like family and solid working teams around us, we are able to stay grounded and joyfully continue our journeys wherever they may take us. For that we are very grateful. Have a good one and cheers to you and your family wherever you are in the world. Music and a few quiet behind-the-scenes notes after the jump. ~xx
