Enjoying 🇨🇦 🦃 day, that is "Thanksgiving Day" up here. Could be on Friday evening, any time on Saturday, Sunday or Monday. I'm going with Sunday evening so I can spend the Weekend knitting. We up in 🇨🇦 are SO SO thankful that we are here and not down there. 😉

Ewwww! Check the labels Canadians before you eat any American shit. Especially also beef products after they bought Argentina beef for a fire sale that China banned for being contaminated. #cdnpoli

Can I ask a ? or a few? Why does a "Peaceful walk" require police protection, in Toronto & other places, if everyone is truly peace-FULL? Why is the tiny tail wagging the dog? What are the lies being protected? Where & what is the "Peace" they want? STOP the WARS! Parody or not!?!?!

What I learned. #Christmaspainting, #painting Step 1: Given four wood disks. Step 2: Research what to do. Step 3: Use paints found at home. Step 4: Whitewash, then paint some gradients. Step 5: Add details. Step 6: Use up old nail polish with sparkles.
Plain wood disks.Whitewashed, then gradient colours added.Stars and trees added.Edges painted black.
The surfaces are painted with old nail lacquer that had different colours of sparkles. Finishing with adding ornamental hangers.

It's a beautiful autumn day. It is the kind of day that "Imagine" should be heard. While relaxing watching the colourful leaves drift to the ground to create a warm blanket for the world to snuggle into before winter's harsh winds. I truly enjoy pictures from around the world or my own yard. 1/2
