I noticed today just how GREEN the grass still is. End of November and the lawns are looking pretty good! Really strange to see that. We have had some cool days and even a bit of snow, but the last week or so has been warm (for this time of year) and everybody's lawns are nice and green. Won't last much longer, though - it's supposed to be colder next week. Still weird to see all the inflateable Santa's & snowmen on the grass - think we were in California!!!!
Speaking of Christmas - Rick made his annual batch of nuts and bolts today. It was his mom's recipe and he's made a batch at Christmas every year for about the last 20 years. We intended to made a smaller batch (with all the salt & butter, they're not exactly health food) but somehow wound up with nearly 3 dozen 1 litre jars - which is more than we usually make. In fact, we had to take a run up to Pembroke to get another box of jars!!
Still a nice day for a drive - Canadian Tire was very crowded though, we picked up our jars and couple of stocking stuffers for the boys and high-tailed it outta there! Christmas shoppers are out in full force!
Today's picture is of Kris's lizards - they really are NOT the most exciting of pets -all they seem to do is huddle under the light for warmth - but Kris likes them. Oh yeah, now he has a second cage for the live crickets he has to keep to feed the lizards - hmmm....I wonder what he has to feed the crickets to keep them alive until he feeds them to the lizards...... It's like a whole little food chain up there in his room - hahahaha
