Hello blendfriends, welcome to the Monday thread! Please feel welcome to read and to post here, we're always happy to chat. I'm sharing a bit of November beauty found on the Internet. We're not quite that chilled here yet, but it's definitely tuque weather 😉 November is just flying by 🛩️ as I try to get things done before the deep freeze. A fun challenge for me is bringing in some flower bulbs that can't stay outside in the winter. I got a random gift of roselily🌼 bulbs this summer (someone's mistaken order) and though they didn't flower this year, I have high hopes for next year. And I'm not the only one fighting deadlines -- after work I will go to the garden to let in a someone who didn't plant his garlic 🧄, despite all our messages about closing up... the new electronic locks mean new practices at our garden. I hope there will be enough sunlight to get done!

After that, I'll come home and use my newly-repaired oven to make roasted squash. I've been waiting all season for that 😆 Do you have favorite cozy dishes 🍲 to make in the fall?

Workout is again physio exercises. My elbow is less bad, trying to feel encouraged by that. And in the spirit of reframing, here's a thought for today:

"You can free yourself from the habitual mind, by not giving authority to thoughts that undermine your truth, beauty, and goodness." (Elisabeth Blaikie)

Wishing you all a great start to the week!
