I know they say no bread, but it is fun for the kids to feed them.

I'm looking forward to the light coming back! Though it is fun around Yule and Christmas!! We have signs everywhere here too "don't feed the ducks"...not really sure why. Is the village afraid of the ducks becoming too pushy? Not sure but if they were on my own property, I'd feed them!! :)Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-17390850275940165052018-11-07T10:56:11.776-05:002018-11-07T10:56:11.776-05:00It always amazes how certain birds can fly such lo...It always amazes how certain birds can fly such long distances Shane. How about the albatross down there in the Southern Ocean - take off on their first flight and don't return to land for 5 years when they are old enough to mate and start a family! <br /><br />An aside: Each day something catches my eye - even the tape on your package with the lovely kitchen towel is fascinating me! Figs and acorns! Perfection!<br />Shane, you are so thoughtful and sweet.<br />Thanks - Mary Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-83769428570125763412018-11-07T10:42:10.465-05:002018-11-07T10:42:10.465-05:00Lorrie - can we send the geese home to Canada, hah...Lorrie - can we send the geese home to Canada, haha?

Autumn colours are simply the best, aren't they.<br />It was a mixed bag here this past weekend, with grey skies but, sadly, still no rain. We went for a run and a walk, and it was cold enough outside for me to want to cook something in the oven. I made Quiche Lorraine on Saturday night and mixed roast vegetables on Sunday (Hokkaido pumpkin, spuds and carrots, spiced with ginger and thyme).Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-77485797845116429082018-11-07T00:33:08.550-05:002018-11-07T00:33:08.550-05:00What gorgeous colours you captured on your walk.

Canada Geese are a bit of a nuisance around here, for some stay year round and don't migrate. <br />We did get out on a walk this past weekend. I also walked a bit today and the air was crisp and energetic!Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-68412338887452518122018-11-06T15:13:27.361-05:002018-11-06T15:13:27.361-05:00What a beautiful walk that was!

It took care of the problem, which was seagulls chasing folks around parking lots. 😆 Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-9552538364801345082018-11-06T12:31:13.016-05:002018-11-06T12:31:13.016-05:00Glorious Autumn with her rich golden hues!
