Grateful Friday

Coming to the end of this near perfect week, I am grateful to be sitting here cuddled up on the sofa with my grandbaby Jayden who had a sleepover last night. Today we are going to try to take a nature walk and enjoy this last day of warm (near 20C), sunny temperatures. Then after our walk we have an art project on the agenda. Me dabbling in my oils and Jayden working with watercolours.

This week has been extraordinary with record breaking temperatures across Southern Ontario. At this point in November, we could be shovelling snow.

So today on Grateful Friday, I am grateful for the wonderful climate we are afforded here in Canada, the opportunity to enjoy 4 beautiful seasons ..........

Spring with the wonder of watching the new growth as our very brown world turns green.

Summer with all the warm sunshine and lazing around under a colourful beach umbrella.

Autumn ...... what needs to be said about the majesty and splendour that is painted in a multitude of colours across the landscape for our viewing pleasure.

And finally Winter ...... the quiet solitude of the world after a snowfall. And when it is over watching the sun break across the snow creating ribbons of shadow and light.


Oh yes, I am very grateful for this veritable cornucopia of eye candy we take in each season.
