Last weekend was jam packed with activity...Fall Fair Saturday and a Hoedown Sunday.
This week I worked 2 days, and filled the off days with little projects around the house. Paint touchups, finishing getting all the annuals out of the garden, trimming the bushes, raking leaves, and taking it all to the yard waste recycling center.
My husband was in California all week, but returns this evening. Tomorrow we are off to Baltimore to spend the day with out oldest daughter.
I can't believe it is the end of October already!!!
I have managed to get most of my Christmas shopping done ... just a few more gifts to acquire, and stocking goodies. Before I know it...the baking will begin!!

Sunday is church in the morning and our youth Hoedown in the evening!

A Canadian maple in all its magnificant splendor!!
Last week, my husband and I took an impromptu trip to Canada!! We had been trying to go for the past 2 months...and everything aligned to allow it finally!!
I had the opportunity to visit a friend from my church that I hadn't seen since we were teens!!
Then I had an evening with my college roommate...who I also hadn't seen since we graduated!! (no pic...oops!!)
With visits to some of my favorite growing up places...it was a super little holiday!!
This is Sharon Temple...it has an amazing story. Built based on Solomon's Temple...it is filled with symbolism. One of my favorite things are the doors on each side. They represent that ALL may enter equally!
The Ark of the Covenant...with a bible inside open to the Ten Commandments. There was no pulpit...all the chairs face the Ark....representing God as Center!
Jacob's Ladder...the staircase to the musicians loft.
The water I spent my childhood on ...Lake Simcoe!
A hike in the woods in the fall...perfect!!!
A lovely little vacation rest!!
