Our Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving in Canada was yesterday.

 

Our humans were away lots this month, however, they are back home and were around to help us celebrate this important occasion!

 

They always cook a turkey, and we always get to have some.  If fact, they always have way more than they can possibly eat in our fridge.  We HAVE to help them eat up our turkey and we are definitely helping with that!!

 

Mindy

 

I am watching the doorway to the kitchen.

 

 

Moe

 

I am also watching and listening!

 

 

Cookie

 

I am not in a deep sleep, my ears are alert, hoping some turkey will be served soon!

 

 

 

Mike

 

I will have a quick wash before the turkey is served.

Another reason this time of year is special to us, is that it is our human grandma's birthday.  This year she is 89 years old - something to celebrate! 

Here she is blowing out her birthday candles!

 

 

Where we live, we get some lovely fall colours to help us celebrate our Thanksgiving.

 

 

and it is also harvest time

lots of pumpkins

 

Our humans grow these to make jelly

We have one grapevine in our yard, but there is usually enough to make at least one jar of grape jelly - but one jar is enough.

 

While our humans were away in the Annapolis Valley they visited these ponies

 

 

they live near our human Auntie and Uncle and very close to where Mindy and Moe were born.

 

We have to show you a photo of the beautiful sunsets we always look forward to, especially lovely at this time of year -

 

 

Now back to snoozing and dreaming about that delicious turkey!

Frosty Friday

Good Morning!  Cookie reporting to day. 

I just checked to see if the lap top is on.   Next I'll get mombean to help me with our blog.  

It has turned cold, yesterday we saw some snow flurries, yikes. 

 However, in spite of a sunny morning, mombean went out on the deck and saw frost!

It won't last though, which is good because I like going out on the deck, but hate cold feet!   Before the sun hits the garden,  mombean took a couple of 'frost' pictures.

Our grass

at the edge of the lawn, the plants look so white.

Don't worry they'll survive, it's a  light frost.

As soon as this blog post is finished, mombean is going to get busy.  She has been collecting ingredients.  Huh, ingreedy....what?  Not sure what she means.  I see, she says it has to do with food.  Ok, I'm interested, I LOVE food.

Cookie:  Mombean what IS this stuff on da countertop?

Mombean:  I need to make a vegan Tourtiere and a vegan friendly pumpkin pie.

Cookie:  Oh, now I remember, someone in our family does not eat meat or dairy and they are having a get together to celebrate three birthdays and Canadian Thanksgiving, too.   Um, how can you have a proper celebration without turkey?

Mombean:  Oh, Cookie, there's going to be a roast turkey, would be like us to bring you back some? 

Cookie:  I bet you know what my answer was!! 

Hope everyone has a great weekend, and on Monday - Canadian kitties celebrate Thanksgiving and in the US it is Columbus Day!
