Wow, it's autumn ... I love autumn. 

 

 I especially love Thanksgiving (held on Monday, October 10th., here in Canada), it's my favourite holiday.  I love turkey with stuffing (but I can't eat the stuffing because I eat low carb).  This Thanksgiving I'm baking a ham.  There will be 16 of us at the table this Thanksgiving dinner.

 

I'm serving baked ham with pineapple and cherries with glaze, scalloped potatoes and probably peas and carrots.  Pumpkin pie and apple pie for dessert.  Oh yum!

 

Then comes Halloween ... so spooky.  We livein an adult community so we don't get any trick or treaters.  That's okay because I'm not tempted to buy candy ... and put a bunch aside for me & my husband.

 

I love the intensity of the leaves as they turn into scarlet, burnt orange, yellow ... and the smell of burning leaves is almost as good as the smell of perked coffee.
