I have always loved autumn. It has always been by far my favourite season. And growing up so close to the Gatineau Hills, there wasn't much that could beat out the beauty of the changing leaves. However, I had also never experienced autumn in the prairies.
This was my first Thanksgiving (and first holiday) spent outside of Ontario, and it was truly lovely. We spent the weekend in LeRoy, SK, a very small town where Mark’s grandparents farm. We had visited them on our road trip to the West coast this summer, and at that time we had no idea we would be visiting again so soon! I was thrilled, because I think I fell in love with the farm on our last visit. Standing there in the fields is just indescribable. You can see sky all around. And I was lucky enough to experience a true prairie storm. You can see it coming for miles! And then there is all the treasure. Old barns, old houses, old cars, old farm equipment, old everything. I swear they could open a museum. I could just spend hours exploring and taking pictures. I can’t believe I haven’t posted any pictures from our trip yet – but they are coming! I took a few more of the farm this time around though!
On Sunday the whole family came over to the farm. Mark’s Aunts and Uncles, cousins, and puppies. It was wonderful to meet everyone and we were just so happy to be spending the holiday with family. And of course there was so much food! We had such an amazing time, and we look forward to our next farm visit!
We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well!
xox.
Well it was our first Thanksgiving with out you home or over for a visit. This wonderful adventure you are on is so great and reminds me of when I came to Canada over 32years ago and left my parents and family behind. Were thankful you have family around you as that is special.
