Happy Thanksgiving! The snow has melted, but it's not going to be much of a gardening day since everything will be soggy. Still have bulbs that I dug out of front yard to plop in back yard. Eden, I wish my house smelled like pies this morning! Brenda, Hope those turkeys are thawed. If they're not, I know there'll be a good entertaining story from you later. Jerri, special thoughts to you this day. I know you will be missing Sassy, but are thankful your time with her. Martie, I just love that arborvitae hedge sprinkled with snow. Chelone, I checked our your chimney project photos and enjoyed the descriptive text too. It looks terrific and can't wait to see the mantle installed. Sue, I know how hurtful things can cast a shadow over the rest of your life, so I hope that you can shake that off as well as the cold. Consider the source is my best advice. I'm grateful that my wrist seems fine now and I didn't have to go to the Dr after all. Marian, I cringed when I read your comment about hitting the ganglioma with book! I do remember that 'treatment' for 'wens'/sebaceous cysts which are above the skin. Shudder. A ganglioma is below the skin, so there's nothing to break open externally. Oh, this is not very nice TDay talk is it lol. Monty's foot seems a bit better too. He has not slept on my bed with kitty's this week so that made me worry. This morning I invited him up, and he hurtled all 65 pounds of flailing limbs right up there. (I caught him running outside yesterday too, so figured he felt better :-) I do have appt for him at vet on Friday as we need to check out his bunny hopping on walks which is unrelated to the sore on his foot. Happy Thanksgiving from Foster Rippie, who knows how to live in the moment and be thankful for whatever he's got. Note that is a real smile on his face. Greyhounds are the only breed that actually 'smiles' just like humans do, with lips pulled back and teeth together. The clenched teeth can be scary to the unknowing :-) Cynthia

Happy Thanksgiving day also to all Canadian Garden Web members and happy Columbus Day to our American friends. We will be having Thanksgiving on Monday at my daughters. My son-in-law, the chef, likes to put on dinner parties, so it will be quite a feed. I am spending the rest of the weekend cleaning up my garden and getting ready for winter. The forcast says we are supposed to get sn** next weekend. I hope not. Cheers Al

My holiday was fabulous! And the weather was sunny and in the 50's. BEAUTIFUL weekend for removing the landscaping rock I'm trying to get rid of.

Thank you for the Thanksgiving wishes Anj. I know you are really busy trying to get your kitchen finished before Thanksgiving. Are we going to get a pic of the finished paint job? You really have a full plate with getting ready for the holidays and keeping up with the kids activities and all the homemaking duties. It can be lots of fun too, if you just make sure to get some rest once in awhile too. No pressure about painting, just wait until you have some time and are rested a bit. We will still be here waiting for you. I want to start addressing Christmas cards later this week, and I need to get out the shampooer and clean our bedroom carpet. Other than that, not much to do until Wednesday when I bake and cook for Thursday. Kind of nice not having Thanksgiving at our house this year--less getting ready stuff to do, so I've been able to do some painting finally! Yes, I am enjoying it! ;o) Wonder what everyone else has planned this week? Hope they will chime in here and let us know. Happy Thanksgiving, Luvs
