Nearly Thanksgiving.

















It's almost Thanksgiving here. This weekend in fact, so I'm off to the shop to pick up things needed for our Thanksgiving dinner. There's not much to report except that the weather has been absolutely marvelous. I still haven't done much in the garden and I have a gallon of paint sitting on the floor, unopened, to paint the guest room and just can't seem to get at it.

There were lots of bees and even butterflies in the garden last week and even earlier this week until the temperatures dropped a bit. I managed to get a few pictures.


The impish squirrel.

Beautiful flutter pics OC... and great that you're having such warm weather. No wonder you've no incentive to stay indoors decorating!

And as for Mr. Cheeky well - he gets cheekier by the minute :D

Great to see Butterflies in your garden! never expected those in your lovely Northern garden.

Mr. Cheecky is great, and I think he loves your camera as well as he does those peanuts.
