october ~ gathering the memories

I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.
~Anne with an "e"
 

Morning fog...and turning leaves.



The final grass harvest of the year...

 

...all wrapped up and stored for the winter.


A mound of white blooms covering the arbour...


...and fresh snow capping the local peaks.
 

A Sunday afternoon hike up Teapot Hill...
on leaf-strewn pathways.


Helping Uncle Jake celebrate a milestone birthday.
 

Heidi hosted us for Thanksgiving Dinner...
where the grands had their own table.
Maggie and Lucy helped with all the prep...
and were the most enthusiastic of hostesses.
We had a lovely time.
 

On the farm...
Emme and Spencer spent countless hours playing with their nine puppies.
What joy!
 


And for our fix of fall colour...
we took a drive up to Whistler near the end of the month.
Beautiful in every season!

And those are just a few of my October memories...
gathered and shared.

I concur with Anne of Green Gables...
I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.
 

As the sun sets on the month of October...
the red oak is hanging on to its leaves.

And we have followed the birds...
south.

Wishing you all a wonderful November!

  4. Scrumptious! October looks beyond beautiful in God's Country.

    Fun to see the twins enjoying the puppies. It reminds me of the days when I had so many puppies to play with. Pure joy!

    Speaking of pure joy...hope that you are floating down some happy river somewhere. Enjoy!

  7. Beautiful October! I think you chatted with my parents at Uncle Jake's birthday. Fun to see him. I hope you're enjoying your time in the sunshine. We drove most of the day in the rain (as far as the WA/OR border for a wedding.)

  9. October is my favorite month! I'd happily live outside every minute and visit as many places as possible. Even the desert has autumn color sometimes. Let us know if where you go south has fall just now arriving.

  10. So happy to visit here today, and thankful to see October pictures from your part of the country. I like how the first and the last picture are two different times of the day. That last picture is exceptionally beautiful!

    The puppies and the smiles of the ones playing with them, are so cute!

    It must be a good feeling to be finished with the harvesting, and now have time to relax together. I pray that you will have warm, sunny weather, and time to catch up with all that was on hold.

    So good to visit here again!

  15. I think you live in the most beautiful spot of the Fraser Valley. I love the openness of the fields. It looks like you visited Whistler in the knick of time because those leaves will have been gone a week later.

  16. What? Did I miss this? I was looking for your photos of PS...but then realized...
    Where did October go? Many wonderful memories of farming, family, traveling and a few games of tennis. What will November bring?

    So glad to catch up a bit with you. It's been ages. I'm really hoping to be around on my blog more these days now that I have more time for it.

    Wishing you a beautiful weekend.....
