Fall Colours

This is Thanksgiving weekend in Canada.  It's one of my favorite weekends of the year.  There are so many good things about it.  Thanksgiving is the peak of the fall harvest.  Fresh fruits and vegetables are plentiful and make for great eating.  Many of us will get together with our families and enjoy a turkey dinner that could end with pumpkin pie topped with whipped cream. 

This is also the prime time to see the gorgeous fall colours that we are so lucky to have in eastern Canada. Our maple, oak and poplar trees are showing off bright red, orange and yellow, so it's a feast for the eyes. It's the perfect time to go for a walk in the bush. The leaves crunch underfoot and release the aromatic smell of fall.

I'm with you. I love everything about autumn from the cooler weather, the fall color and the delicious food associated with this time of year. The trees out here on the left coast as just starting to turn and will be at their peak in another couple of weeks.

Oh my, each one of those things just shouted October. It's one of my favorite months, the one that really signifies cooler weather and that Christmas is right around the corner. And I love every one of these items chosen for today's article.
