Of Books and Flowers
This weekend I'll be turning the pages of what I fully expect to be a delicious new book - Louise Penny's latest, The Grey Wolf. The book arrived last week, but I disciplined myself to finish reading the stack from the library before beginning. Now I can indulge myself. Doesn't a good book sound like a treat on what's promising to be a rainy weekend?

Blogtober Thirty-One
The doorbell rang early in the evening and I opened it to this happy group of people - the Bluey family! I didn't know about the Blueys until recently, but the animated show is a great hit with the little girls. Later, mermaids, princesses, dragons, and other characters appeared at the door. It's fun to engage with them a little and to drop a treat or two into their bags.
And so the month ends. Thank you for following along with me throughout these thirty-one days.

Blogtober Thirty
I’m writing this post on my phone. It’s a bit tricky. We made a quick trip to visit friends who are like family. One is not doing well health wise and it was so good to spend time together. Our drive over a couple of mountain passes was full of colourful Larch trees - conifers that drop their golden needles in autumn. Snow lined the roadside in the highest sections. Beauty everywhere.
We stopped in the Fraser Valley to take my parents out for dinner. Then to their home for birthday cake - for me! I can’t remember the last time I spent my actual birthday with my parents.
This has been a very different kind of birthday. There will be a party in a few weeks with our island family. I am thankful to God for the years he’s given me, for love and health, and so much more. Everyday is a gift.
It will be nearly tomorrow when we finally get home and I am looking forward to sinking into my own cozy warm bed tonight.
Just one more day in this month of daily posts.
