Had a lovely long weekend. Dinner out with my sister on Friday night, time spent outdoors in the garden on Saturday, a fabulous backyard Thanksgiving dinner at my parents' place on Sunday {Auntie Pat rented a cotton candy machine!} and a rainy day at home on Monday {in which I phoned and skyped to say "Happy Thanksgiving!" with a few of my favourite friends}. What a weekend. We ate, we played, we laughed, we worked, and then we ate some more! What is it about this time of year that makes me crave pumpkin and cinnamon? I seriously can't get enough of the stuff.

I'm feeling very thankful for all the wonderful things in my life, long weekends included. You?
What a lovely warm Autumn post. Those pumpkins look like garden show exhibits they are so perfect.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a great weekend. x
Your weekend sounds so wonderful! Is that your sister in the photo? You both look so gorgeous. That cupcake looks delicious. I have a bit of a thing for cupcakes at the moment.
ReplyDeleteHad a wonderful time in the States, hope I can make it to the States next time :-)
It looks like such a fabulous weekend. We call cotton candy fairy floss and I just love that stuff. How awesome that you had a machine!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a fun day for all. x
Looks really, really lovely.
ReplyDelete{Love} the photo of you and your sis ... Sawyer's happy face "sniffing" those unbaked tarts is priceless.
We had a family of four over ... Sam did the meal ... I made 2 pumpkin pies so we'd have leftovers FOR US and we are loving these leftovers!!!

ReplyDeletej'adore the apple cupcakes -- though the stuffing has my stomach growling.

Okay, I am SO late (please forgive me!) but it looks like you had one good Thanksgiving weekend! I'm looking forward to ours that much more! There will definitely be pumpkin baked goods involved. And maybe a whole pumpkin soup too.
