October has been a challenging month: too many neighbour-friends have moved away or are making plans to move. This neighbourhood community has sustained us through long months in isolation and we miss each one sorely.
On the brighter side, our family blog kept me occupied as we celebrated Breakfast with a bumper issue. It seems we all love this most important meal of the day!
Another happy for this month was Loving Husband’s 2-week Fall Break from teaching, so we had numerous Date Runs to enjoy the scenery.

We also had some entertainment in the kitchen with some new bakes.

How was your month?

October was far quieter than September, The harvest is in, we are no longer under threat of wildfires. We are grateful for what we have. 🙂

It is sad when a neighbourhood changes because people move away. Hopefully the newcomers will become friends too.
As always, I’m drooling over your fabulous baking. And loving the sculptures.

Why are folks moving? Yeah, as an expat, I know how tough it is. I feel like I’m part of a very transient community, myself included. Overall, it looks like you’re doing things right – eating yummy treats and exercising outdoors! xo

We try very hard to make each day count in the ways that bring us joy 🙂
I think many of our friends are moving because job contracts are terminated or they want to be closer to family.
