so much to be thankful for
It's the end of the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend (second Monday of October, mark your calendars so you don't forget like I did!) and here are a few of the little things I've been thankful for lately
Roses in fall hues...
A burst of colour from the mother-in-law's allotment garden
A flower with my name on it...
Sage, rosemary and thyme still going strong...
Beautiful autumn leaves...
A bountiful harvest...
(Apples and tiny white gourds from our garden, the rest from the market)
Homemade pumpkin pie and cranberry pear crisp...
Hedgehogs!...
And here are the three not-so-little things that I'm thankful for all year long...

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all you Canucks out there!

YAAAAAY. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Christina. I've visited several blogs today being reminded of this important time of the Canadian year. And since I know you'll always be Canadian in your heart, I give my THANKS for you today.
And we have enjoyed it here. I got to see the RVM which was such a treat. I wasn't watching it last year but this year was just so much fun...
Your desserts look incredible!
Great pictures and Happy Thanksgiving! Can I have a piece of pie? OMG looks amazing!
Happy Thanksgivving! Your pie looks wonderful.
Ginnie - Thank you so much!
Expat - Yeah, it sounds like you had an exciting time with so much stuff going on.
Frau - Still some pie left, come on over!
poppy fields- Thanks! Only two out of four of us like pumpkin pie so all the more for us.
A lovely post Ms. Mausi! Happy Belated Thanksgiving!
Until reading your post, Christina, I'd completely forgotten about Canadian Thanksgiving. Maybe that's a good sign - not pining for the fjords and all - but on the other hand, keeping the old traditions and passing them on are so important. Good to see you're doing that so well.
Hi Christina! Followed you back from the comment in my blog. :) Nice to meet you!
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well from another expat Canadian - although I couldn't find a Turkey to cook this year - I'm still thankful :)
What a lovely post. I think I may steal your pumpkin pie crust with the leaves for my own Thanksgiving in a month.
Happy (belated) Thanksgiving, Christina!
Awwwwwww, I'd die with a blissful smile on my face of pure happiness if I could find a hedgehog in my garden, WOW!
A great, thoughtful post and a good reminder for a Norwegian too - thanks for sharing :-)
