In the early morning light I captured these views and as the day continued on the sunshine grew brighter. By the time the family arrived we were all able to enjoy the wonderfully warm afternoon on the deck before moving inside to enjoy the traditional harvest meal. Hands joined in blessing, good food and wine, cousins, aunts and uncles sharing stories and laughter. We are thankful for the visitors from the big city. It's always great to get together here on the farm.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who are celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend. In Canada we have so much to be thankful for. If you have time to do a little armchair travelling you will find the links to the Provincial Tourism websites in my previous Canada Day post here.
I'm linking to Mary's Little Red House for Mosaic Monday.
Thanksgiving day wishes from our home to yours!
Happy Thanksgiving, Sheila! Your mosaic is heart-warming. As you know, the colours here on the Island aren't as spectacular as in other parts of the country - I sometimes miss the change. With your big dinner over and done with, I hope you'll have a day of relaxation and rest today.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fabulous day full of many things to be thankful for. Spectacular images of the changing seasons. Thank you for sharing the wonder of your world.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful header! Amazing even.
ReplyDeleteWonderful that you shared your holiday with us. It sounds as if it was a great one.
We, too, are enjoying a mild stretch. Since you're west of me, I hope yours is coming this way.
Happy Thanksgiving, Sheila! We celebrated yesterday as well. Today's a day to relax and enjoy. We have much to be thankful for.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous header!

Have a great week.

A very happy Thanksgiving to you Sheila! Being originally from Montreal (with an American father)I used to celebrate both Thanksgivings but since I live alone now I only make one turkey so I wait for the November Thanksgiving here in the U.S. but I miss the October Thanksgiving a bunch!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day...

So glad you had a wonderful family Thanksgiving, family is one of God's richest blessings! We had our youngest daughter with us and she will be here for another week, we have enjoyed her very much.
Hugs, Cindy

Such a lovely mosaic Sheila with warm sentiments of thanksgiving shared with loved ones. Is there anything better to warm the heart?
ReplyDeleteWe don't celebrate Thanksgiving in OZ but it sure sounds like a lovely time with family. It is a very relevant custom for farmers. I thank you for providing us with food.
