away

it is thanksgiving weekend here,

and i am away,

in winnipeg, manitoba,

my first visit to this city

and province. i so like the

bison on the flag. the trees

are golden and the sky is

big.

happy thanksgiving.

two chairs

two chairs

side by side,

as soon as i saw

them the song

stayed with me

all day long.

have a listen to

this version from

an old movie.

friday postcard

wishing everyone a good weekend

welcome autumn

the changes can be seen

and felt,

the days are shorter,

air crisper,

rain seems wetter,

the swans are

nastier.

autumn arrived in

a bit of a mood.

it is pouring

rain now.

i am listening

to this version

of

september song

welcome autumn.

tea and a book

this book caught my

attention at the library.

a fascinating glimpse

into a different

art world of great discoveries,

meticulous research,

amazing restorations,

fakes and high prices

for paintings!

the author has an

interesting site here.

100 years

a better day could not

have been wished for

to celebrate 100

years of the

knesseth israel synagogue

in the junction.

a street party was held

with tours of the synagogue.

there were games, activities

for children and

a deli truck offering

food.

a choir of university

students and a klezmer band

provided music.

i could not

resist the cookies.

saturday at the market

a brilliant sunny saturday

afternoon at the

market,

the stalls were

overflowing

with colourful

local produce.

so many fruits

and vegetables

to chose from.

as always we

came home with

too much.

now the feast.
