Around Here...

View coming into work this morning

• The sugar rush from Halloween continues, we haven’t put away the candy tray and it still sits by the front door

At the fireworks shop

•  The 5 day festival of Diwali culminated yesterday with Bhai dooj (started 1^st Nov)

I always aim to make 5 different types of sweets for Diwali

We made and ate and shared lots and lots of sweets with friends and neighbors

We switched back from Day light savings time to regular time and it is beautiful to see sunlight filtering into the bedroom rather than waking up in the dark (which I still do on most days)

As I woke up

• Both girls are working very hard towards their respective music recitals that is coming up soon in just about a months’ time along with a few other musical fundraiser events

• We got our first dusting of snow and it made everything so pretty, the silvery shimmer on grey limbs of the leaf-less trees… only because it November, I’d hate this in spring

Our pumkin got some grey hair

• Recreational basketball made an entry into our lives and the first session began this week
