Thankful

I am so very thankful to have this little guy in my life.  He brings so much joy to my heart.  Can't tell you how many times a day (and night) he crosses my mind.  I just came back from spending one week with them in New Brunswick.

Had turkey and all the trimmings for supper last night.  Look at those carrots and golden beets. 

Our yearly trek to a small remote community for our acorn picking...

... led us to a very small yield.  I think the squirrels got there before us.

Rémi...

And for my friend Louise who is not on facebook but is a faithful reader of this blog here is an updated picture of Rémi ...

Baby, it's cold out there

This is the kind of day we had ALL day. Plus, extreme winds (which you can't see in pictures). We still have about 3 cords of wood to bring in. Dave broke his left wrist a week ago so I'm finding myself bringing in the firewood with Luc and Liette's help. Dave has a hard time accepting he can't do these things.... and that, for 6 weeks. This is making me realize how much he does around here... I miss that left hand (and the right one also).

There has been a whole lot of ''secret'' knitting around here in the past month. Dave and I are going to be grand-parents in May. Ginette and André are expecting our first grandchild.

And yes......... we are VERY excited!!!
