Rob and I, Penny and Alex enjoyed the long drive through the splendour of the fall colours, and four and half hours later arrived at Lois' and Mark's. Gord, Linda, Bill, James and Ryan were there as well. Although the gathering was smaller, the feast was grand and there was much joy around the table. Later on, a huge bonfire brought warmth to a dark evening and there were laughter and fireworks under a full moon.
The next morning, a full breakfast before wending our way back home.
Soaking in the colours, we enjoyed our thanksgiving rituals: pausing at the bridge to take a group photo, pulling up to a road stand for local honey, picking apples at Pieter's Orchard, watching the salmon run in the Ganaraska River. This year, we extended our stay in Port Hope and Alex and Penny treated us to dinner at a local pub.
All of the thanksgivings blending into such beautific moments. Transcendent.
