This was one of those rare Thanksgivings with picture perfect, summer-like weather. If I could bottle up any type of weather and have it year round it would have been this weekend’s: 25-26C, low humidity, blue skies, and gorgeous Fall colours. I could do 365 days of this, thankyouverymuch.
The only thing that could have made this weekend any better would be having my side of the family there too!
Let’s see, there were tees, tank tops, sandals, and Crocs. Pale skin became tickled pink again.
There were morning runs without watches or music. Wake ups to the sunrise cats and not the alarm.
No need for jackets and warm PJs unlike our visit two weekends ago.
Out came the dock and boat lift, although it felt like we should have been putting it in.
I made another Pumpkin Brownie Pie followed by a much needed weekend off from cooking and baking (but of course, not from eating!).
2-day computer cleanse. With only one brief relapse! Darn you, Pinterest.
I’m refreshed, but not quite ready to say goodbye…to this weekend…the weather…or my sanity.
Lastly, I hope you like horse teeth.

You will laugh…you may cry.
I’m going to go brush my teeth now.

Happy Thanksgiving!
We are just about to have our dinner here in B.C., and I could not be more excited for stuffing!
Your weather was much nicer than ours- 10 C and cloudy! Oh well!
Brenna :)
Happy Thanksgiving Brenna!
Oh the pics are fabulous!
Looks like you had an awesome holiday with the family. And that Pumpkin Brownie Pie…I really really want that!
And I’m happy for you that you had a weekend off from cooking, baking, photographing it all, recipe trials, and kitchen time. We all need that. I just got done with a 4 hour cook + photograph session so can relate.
Happy Thanksgiving!
That picture is too funny! Great shot. :)
I’m making that pumpkin brownie for US Thanksgiving this year. I’ve been eyeing it since you did it LAST fall.
Great pics! I can’t wait to make the pumpkin brownie again this year… It’s one of the best things I’ve ever made/eaten!
What a wonderful weekend! Pinterest is so addictive though, isn’t it!
Haha that photo of the horse is hilarious – it’s teeth, ew!!!
Happy Thanksgiving! I wish we celebrated Thanksgiving in New Zealand, it always sounds so wonderful :)
Beautiful pictures, as usual. Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving! Great pics :)
I’m glad you had a good computer detox!
That horse picture is hysterical!!! Seriously made me laugh hard!
LOL at those teeth… and eww at the same time!! :) It looks like you had a lovely Thanksgiving Ange, and I agree about the weather – how perfect!! I also went for a morning run and it felt awesome. Great photos as always – Benny is one very cute dog!
What a perfect weekend. Its so good to disconnect fully once in a while and live completely in the moment with family and friends. That picture-omggg too funny (and gross!).
Glad you had a great weekend! It was 82*F here. CRAZY for October!!
You take the most beautiful photos! I can’t believe how gorgeous it is there!
Happy thanksgiving! A beautiful weekend indeed. I took full advantage of it, and yes the weather should be like this all year long, but then, this wouldn’t be Canada would it? ;)
What would it take for you to just make me the pie and send it to my house?
insulated bubble wrap? ;)
I made the brownie pumpkin pie and it was a hit !!!!
Glad to hear that brenda!
I did, as well! Everyone loved it, particularly the carnivores :D
Looks like a beautiful time! That pie sounds incredible– may have to add it to my Thanksgiving menu!
What a lovely weekend it was. I could live with this weather all the time too. And your pumpkin brownie pie sounds so good, I’m sure I could eat it every day. I will have to try making it soon.
Ha , that’s so funny! We just drove by some of those very same spots you did today. We took the family to Springridge farm, right along the escarpment–totally beautiful weekend! The pictures of my kids holding pumpkins in shorts and tank tops looks so strange!
Looks like you took full advantage of the weather…
So many people were out driving and taking pics! It was pretty fun :)
so funny that you long for summer weather for Thanksgiving and all I want is crisp, fall weather on Thanksgiving (down here in Texas). Cooler weather makes pie more appealing :)
some of those horse pictures are so perfectly composed, you have great talent. glad you could enjoy your time off. i love sunny fall weather too.
Fabulous pictures! Thanks for sharing!
Stunning photos. That country land looks like a little bit of heaven.
I can’t wait til thanksgiving here…such a wonderful time with family :)
Your Thanksgiving looks perfectly peaceful, beautiful, and joyful. What yummy moments you have captured and shared. Thanks for taking us with you!
Happy Thanksgiving Angela!! Yes the weather was beautiful today!! It said 27*C on the thermometer in Scarborough at the family Thanksgiving.
hahahaha, I knew it had to be a funny horse pic. hilarious! Looks like you had a spectacular time!
Beautiful pics Ange! Looks like a wonderful, fun filled weekend!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you! I was in a wedding over the weekend and the weather was beautiful! I wish it would last all winter!
Beautiful beautiful photos! I love Thanksgiving…too bad I have to wait another month & a half to celebrate it here in the US, because this post is making me want some pie!
Happy Thanksgiving Angela! We celebrated this weekend with way too much food, as usual, but that means leftovers! :)
The pie looks amazing and your pictures are beautiful! Happy Thanksgiving!
Love the pictures of the changing leaves! It makes me wish I lived somewhere where I was surrounded by all the Fall colors!
Horses have to be some of the most beautiful creatures…
The horse teeth are hysterical : )
Made your lentil loaf for dinner last night and loved it. It tastes just like stuffing! And who doesn’t just want to eat stuffing and mashed potatoes for dinner? Thanks for a great recipe. It will get a repeat make at Christmas.
I’m happy to hear that! Maybe I could make a stuffing recipe based on that loaf?
It’s been lovely in NB as well this weekend. Wearing shorts on Thanksgiving? I’ll take it!

Happy Thanksgiving! I made my first Green Monster today (having just discovered your site less then a week ago,) thanks for giving it a name that will make my 2.5 yr old drink it…. Genius! I added beet greens to the virgin recipe. My husband had good energy for his run! Looking forward to the creamy avo pasta tomorrow. Thanks again! Cheers!
Hey Shannon, I’m happy you like the green monster! Enjoy the pasta :)
Happy Thanksgiving! I made your ultimate lentil walnut loaf to take to our family dinner and had a wonderful vegan Thanksgiving meal, thanks to your recipe! Next up… I’m going to make the pumpkin brownie, just because. I’m glad you had a wonderful weekend.
Glad you enjoyed it Christine!
What a gorgeous Thanksgiving!! Wasn’t it the best weather this year? We had amazing sunshine and warmth on Sunday when we had our big family meal and it almost seemed too good to be true!! I could live like that for 365 as well…sigh…now its just down hill from here ;)
xxoo
It sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving! It’s so nice just to take a break from everything and just enjoy time with the family. :)
Your shots of the countryside are gorgeous. I went on a hike up the escarpment at Mount Nemo this weekend and it was beautiful. It’s too bad the colours never last that long!
Sounds (and looks) like you guys had a great weekend. It was gorgeous here in Alberta too, but definitely not as warm!
Spin the niece is one of my favourite games :)
