Happy Thanksgiving to all in Canada. I just now looked it up and read some about it. Until I started seeing it on here some years ago, I didn't even know there was a Thanksgiving Day in Canada.
It's much cooler here today. Only in the 80s*. When I went out this morning to feed the birds it was 54*, sunny but with a north wind. I had to put on a jacket and scarf and cap. I just can't tolerate a nippy breeze.
Something (I'm guessing the squirrel) has been eating pecans each night on my back landing, outside the French doors where there are steps down. I don't know why he comes up there to eat them but the evidence is there.

Our high today was 45° 
along with a bit of wind. I have on a turtle neck shirt, with a light jacket over it. I wore a spring/fall outdoor jacket over it and gotta say I was sooo cold. Should have worn a cap, one that goes over the ears, but fortunately, was not out in that chill for very long. The weather forecast still says rain......or possibly that S word (doubt it), and will warm up a bit as the week progresses, maybe hitting in 60s by end of week. But the rough stuff is coming.....I hated the idea of donning a winter jacket, but it's coming, for sure. Next week will be colder........a shame, I 'd like nice weather for the kids trick or treating.......

A sunny day again, but high only in the 70s. Freeze warning Tuesday night and all my flowers
will be gone. It took awhile for the mum to bloom.
A busy morning at church. I did the lesson at the circle meeting today.
I hope everyone is having a nice day.

We eat turkey with roast potatoes and cranberry sauce (not canned!) and of course pumpkin pie @Poirot I'm British so I throw in some Yorkshire puddings on the side like I'd do at Christmas. So probably quite similar to an American Thanksgiving. I am all turkeyed out as I had it for dinner, lunch and dinner again.
Oh, lol, Brisby, you made me laugh. Sometimes turkey was dinner for 3-4 days. Now that I live alone, I no longer do Thanksgiving traditional dinner..........once was more than enough. my son was amazed I made this huge dinner with all the regular stuff when there was only the 2 of us. The following year he insisted he take me out to dinner, and again the next year........Christmas is the hard one for me........I have, at times, had just a TV dinner. Winter, snow, unsafe roads.........nearby Friends all with family. Don't even make cookies any more.
93 on Saturday..... 79 yesterday..... 70 today with a freeze warning...... Yesterday I did bring in all of my plants from outside..... except the ones that need to stay outside. The tomato plant currently has 7 walnut sized tomatoes on..... thinking the chances of them reaching beef steak adulthood slim..... The primary bedroom (no longer called the master bedroom) is now a jungle.....
saw the hand doctor today.... if the shot given today doesn't provide relief then the nerves in the circle will need to be cut..... yippee surgery not major surgery but surgery non the less..... We have a month of testing short relief.... possibly longer..

Typical Thanksgiving is Turkey however I'm not a big fan of turkey so we always do something different. Same for Christmas. Yesterday for Thanksgiving dinner I made bbqd ribs, coleslaw and a jalepno honey cornbread

Robin, that water slide clip made me uncomfortable. I kept holding my breath while he was swimming through it and thinking I wasn't going to make it! But the combiner dog made me laugh. He looked perfectly comfortable in his job.
Muzz, your dinner sounds better to me than turkey.

I have no idea why that tube video appeared. I agree it's not comfortable to watch.
