Yesterday afternoon we had a few flakes of snow. I was outside with Damian during it and I have to say, I do not think he approved. His frown of concern was adorable when a few landed on him. 
With all the economic turmoil in the country (and world,) people seem to easily forget how much we have to be thankful for and how much beauty surrounds us. I do not know much about economics but I feel that a lot of what is out there is fear mongering. I am not trying to say times are not hard, they are, but I feel this has all been blown out of proportion. People are comparing the current situation to the Great Depression. I think that is an insult to the people who lived through those time. Michael has lost a 28% of his 401K since this “crisis” began, but you know what, we aren’t worried. I am certain that by the time we are near retirement and are ready to shift our earnings to more bonds then stocks the market will have rebounded (perhaps more then once!)
Anyhow, I am not economic expert so my opinions on that aside, I thought I would share some photos of my morning. I hope you see as much beauty in the world around you are I do. (I put one of this morning’s pictures in my photoblog, I hope someone can help me identify those unique seedpods.) I actually don’t know what a lot of these plants are so if you see something you recognize, let me know!
This weekend is the Canadian Thanksgiving, so I wanted to wish a wonderful one to all my relatives and friends up north!

I love the picture of you and Damian! We haven’t had a hard frost yet. We do have a lot be thankful for regardless of the bad financial situation and agree it cannot be compared to the Great Depression.

Thanks for the beautiful picture of you and Damian. I shall add it to my collection. His little cousin, Dasha, is now 3 months old and weighed 5 kilos the other day.
She is really noticing things around her and smiles a lot.
Her Granddad Philip was walking her around letting her touch all the bright flowers he could reach early this morning. He has always loved babies even as a teenager.
Give Michael a hug for me for being such a caring husband and Daddy and an extra cuddle for Damian. Nana

Awesome pics (especially, of course, the one with you and Damian, and the other photo of Damian).
Regarding Thanksgiving, I would send you all some mashed potatoes etc. and pumpkin pie and whipped cream over to your place, but…
