We drove cross-country between here and Nut Mountain last night, and there were dozens of sets of headlights to be seen in the fields around. All that activity at night ... The race is on, full throttle.
Rain is forecast for this weekend, but it feels like snow to me. As soon as I got home tonight I jacked the furnace up to 72F.
Picking Emil up after work, I insisted he wear a winter jacket and leave the summer one in the closet. He wasn't happy about it, but Wise Ones Take the Advice of Mothers.
"Are you glad I'm here, Mom?" he has asked me several times since we arrived. "I bet you're looking forward to spending the weekend with me."
What can I say. Of course. It'll be short and sweet though because his household is going to a Tim Hus concert in Kelvington on Sunday and he has to be back in town early to catch his ride.
He always asks if I've missed him and I say no, and he says he hasn't missed me either. It's always the exact same words, same sentence.
He has kissed me on the cheek several times and patted my hand. I think he missed me. And it is nice to be in the company of someone who has missed you.
A great feast of SJG today - thank you. I've been trying to plot out menus for a friend's arrival and your noodle casserole reminded me. I've been donated a lot of cod and will attempt a cod casserole. I hope your hand is better and your photos bring me right onto the vastness of your land. How different are our landscapes :)

Your stopping by is the next best thing to sitting down together for a cuppa! Too bad we live so darn far apart. I would love to ramble along the Nfld. shoreline.
DeleteGal, I'm about midway between you and Wisewebwoman---you should come by.
ReplyDeleteYour place is on my "road trip fever" itinerary too Lorna.
DeleteThanks for the lovely weather this weekend. Beautiful and sunny. Things have cooled down but it looks to be a banner week with the exception of Friday with rain. The furnace had to be turned on a couple of times to get the chill out of the house as we are down in the low single digits at night. Could you send more sunny weather for the Thanksgiving long weekend SVP! Hope it's not snow!
ReplyDeleteHa! Finally, credit where credit is due! :)
