November catch up

 The return from Edmonton was uneventful and I was able to shorten my 14 day quarantine to just 4 days with a negative Covid 19 test.

At this time of year, George and I used to drag chairs out on to the beach to watch the sunsets. I can see them now from "the Edge"

 
Sometimes I need a blanket and cushion, to fend of the chill, but it's worth it.

A big wind storm blew away one of my decks and when Rick and I walked Long Point Beach we could see how close the water had come to the trees around my old place.

The same windstorm knocked over boats at the Port Dover marina. Photo by Mark.

Mark went down to check on his boat, that's her, with the blue stripe, safe and sound. Photo by Mark.

The gust of wind that did the damage was clocked at 135km/hr. Photo by Mark.

 
Ducks have been "rafting" in the lake.

Amassing to fly south. I believe these are Redhead ducks.

 

Snow

 

Then lovely again for Rick and I, then Nic and I, to walk around the vineyard at Burning Kiln

 

We also sat on the patio of Long Point EcoAdventures and ate and drank, warmed (and smoked) by a wood burning fire and enjoying our last chances to indulge in patio dining for a while.

 

On the way home we saw Santa, making the rounds, in Port Dover.

 

Rasta is always willing


to help with quilting.

Seen on the Lynn Valley Trail.

Then more snow.

The Girls do Coffee (which I have renamed The Ladies go Lingerie Shopping) design by Carolyn Stitch, is nearly finished.

Seagull and Schooner, design by Thor Hansen, is in process,

as is Lone Pine, designed by Nancy Jo Finout.
