sleeve and sock, swimming and sunset

Back from a long weekend - the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, spent at the cottage, getting things ready for winter - docks and boats in, gardens cleaned up, all that stuff.

There was time for some knitting, however - a sleeve of Kauni is done, and a Trekking XXL sock got a fair bit of attention as well.

The weather was spectacular! Seriously, it felt like an August day. So much so, that the boys decided to go swimming. Each day. No joke. Now, they didn't stay in quite as long as they did back in August, but there was swimming - wet heads and all. And the colours! It was the perfect weekend , as the colours really seemed to be at their peak - both during the day: and in the evenings.

We will be back in the winter, just not as often - my Son plays basketball each weekend, so that severely limits our winter weekends spent north. But we will go for New Years, and any other available weekend.

Today, we have our Canadian Federal Election, so after work I have to get to the polls, get to the hospital for my MRI, and get to basketball practice, since it's the parents vs. the kids. Just another day in my life...
