And she’s talking in her sleep.

Twist and Shout

Bears repeating. De Adder

😂

Skiing 20 minutes from home #Ottawa

We did not repeat this Christmas tree this year. Fun but…not merry.

Just Molly. 😌

Here was my Molly

Another dismal day…

2005. Diana Thorneycroft: Early Snow with Bob and Doug from the McMichael Canadian Art Collection. This is my favourite.

Finally. A bit of snow.

Molly cat settles in.

Molly.

Hey this is great! Perfect read. Christmasy names. As well I am a Snow from my Grandma line. It is snowing out too.

Still showing good guy. Seems like only yesterday this historic market bldg restaurant and bakery had celebrated his visit to #Ottawa. Good times.

Passing the winter

I found this delicate tiny one -inch -long toy on the ground under a cedar at home. Very cute but how on earth did it get there. What set of toys is it a part of. Out of nowhere. #Ottawa

When Molly spots that other cat.

That is cold this morning but generally not as cold as usual.

A cold November in #Ottawa but welcome sun.

Hiss.

That bookclub selection was a real snoozer.

Through the bedroom window we can feel fall at it’s peak and in a few weeks all this will be bare. Then snow.

Yes.

Maidenhair fern in Gatineau Park. My favourite. #Gatineau #Ottawa

Globe thistle. So easy to grow and they look like something from another planet.

I could not resist posting this, just as we have an unusually warm and summery October week. It won’t last.

My father had a #Nash Rambler when I was about ten, in 1960 or so. It was a matte grey and yes the seats made into a bed. I wasn’t allowed to sleep overnight in it.
