| November 23 - Ottawa River Pathway |
November has blessed us (for the most part) with daily Celsius temperatures in the teens accompanied with brilliant blue, cloudless skies.
Eight years ago while visiting our friend's farm we were served a delicious salad using their garden fresh kale. It's become a favourite in our household and when I serve it to friends and family they always ask for the recipe. I realized this morning (while making it once again) that over the years I've slightly altered the ingredients and measurements and that perhaps an updated version might be a stellar idea!
Why I've not noticed this phenomenon before is a mystery, but the leaves of certain trees across the street from our condo have changed colour from the top down. It's as if they've pulled a warm wool toque over their heads.

It was another gorgeous, albeit somewhat cool, day (8C) in the nation's capital and we opted to take full advantage of this fall weather and headed to Petrie Island for a walk.
We've had to pinch ourselves this week. On two consecutive days we've gone for two glorious walks and to put it bluntly we're two very happy Canadians.
The week following our adventure on Endikai Lake was rather dismal with mostly overcast skies and plenty of rain, but as we were packing up to return to Ottawa for the winter we were grateful for this incredible summer and content to celebrate a quiet Thanksgiving in the north.
