It's Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend and I can hardly wait. We will be surrounded by family, nature and of course good food. Fall has always been a favourite time of year for me. When Don and I were first dating, he asked me once my favourite season. When I innocently shared my love of falling leaves and changing colours his response was "how can you love a season that is all about dying and decomposing?" Maybe it's a fall birthday, the bounty of fall vegetables or so many happy memories of big Thanksgiving meals, regardless, it's still my favourite time of year.
