Happy [Canadian] Thanksgiving

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving everyone!

So far I've had a great weekend, specifically today, which has included some knitting,

a hike to Wilson's Falls in Bracebridge,

a FO photo shoot,

received some exciting news (not mine to share, yet),

and a Thanksgiving dinner for 1 (grocery store rotisserie chicken, green beans, some boxed stuffing and a pumpkin pie).

So, for my very first Thanksgiving away from my family has been really, surprisingly, fun.  I don't plan to make it a habit of solo holidays, but knowing I can celebrate on my own is a good feeling.

Adventures in my own backyard

On Easter Sunday I figured I needed to get out of the house (and away from my knitting/spinning/weaving which is fun but quite sedentary) and so I put on my shoes and went for a little adventure in my own town.  Armed with my iPhone for my This American Life fix, and my camera,  I headed out for a little walk, 2.5 hours and 10km later I had been on a little adventure in my own backyard.

It is amazing how I can live in such a small town (pop. 6,190, 5.16 sq. mi.) and still find new places to wander through and check out.

It was a grey day, but it was a great time.  It's fun to see what secrets are hiding in your own community.
