It is my favorite month of the year. That Halloween party was so interesting. I also threw a scary Halloween event for the adults at some domestic <a href="https://eventup.com/venues/chicago-il/" rel="nofollow">Chicago venues</a> and we all enjoyed it a lot.Wenni Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00761111053828940919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099706683992013607.post-31989031172026945742015-11-20T08:48:49.080-05:002015-11-20T08:48:49.080-05:00Joy, I have it on authority from my favourite clim...Joy, I have it on authority from my favourite climate-guru Dave Phillips that it's going to be Pacific-air lovely this winter.

Garden blogging can be a thankless task so I'll thank you in advance!<br /><br />Very nice pictures of the cottage lake. We spent a similarly wonderful time up north at my sister and BIL's place near Bala.<br /><br />Paul Jung https://www.blogger.com/profile/12656140739394887012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099706683992013607.post-89302780612424644362015-11-11T08:27:49.806-05:002015-11-11T08:27:49.806-05:00Barb girl you had me totally with those pictures o...Barb girl you had me totally with those pictures of the lake as calm and smooth as glass, so beautiful !<br />Then the Halloween scenes with Bart in his costume ? absolutely perfect for the month of October ... it did go fast ...

The photos were taken in a small park on our walking route. This weather has been superb, although today it looks as if the change is on the way - leaves flying by at 180 degrees at great velocity. Those that were holding on - have now been set free - I see a lot of raking in my future. May you find a few chores more to push that shed a little further to the bottom of the to-do pile!

Were those shots of the storm taken from your garden? I am loving the mild November as well. Garden chores that usually don't get done until spring because it's just too cold or the soil is frozen by now are actually getting done in the fall. I may have to clean out the garden shed (very bottom of the chore list).Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11106962533729909868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099706683992013607.post-89833087949522354092015-11-05T07:15:01.921-05:002015-11-05T07:15:01.921-05:00Thanks Beth, it was a marvellous week.

Had a look on the map - I'm thinking we've both got the influence of the Great Lakes & are about at the same latitude. Fingers crossed for a mutually benevolent winter!Barbarapchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990013417063903768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099706683992013607.post-48726171455370166592015-11-04T21:46:07.555-05:002015-11-04T21:46:07.555-05:00Luscious photos of the lake!

Now, it shouldn't be surprising, but I keep thinking about how similar Toronto's climate is to Madison's (and Milwaukee's). This mild autumn is unusual, but I'm not complaining!Beth @ PlantPostingshttp://plantpostings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
