I did not go for a walk after work today. It was hot out, my mom had already walked Lucy (I drop her at their place while I'm working because she is an extremely spoiled dog) and my Monday school offers ample opportunity for getting steps in.
It is quite a long walk in from the parking lot.
It is a long-ish walk from the end of the school to the front door, or from the servery door, where I usually enter, to the library.
Once I am in the library, the distance from the desk to the end of the shelves (a distance I cover multiple times during the day) is not inconsiderable.
I did not realize until today how long and flat this school and library is.
I kind of like that the very last book in the non-fiction section is about Antarctica.
The pictures from all my other walks from October 1st until yesterday are all pretty similar - leaves changing even though the temperature remains stubbornly, stickily, dystopically warm.
At my parents' place after work I said it looked like next weekend (when we'll all be together for Thanksgiving -the Canadian version) was going to be nice, my mom said "cooler" and I said "that's what I mean by nice."
Tonight I am browning a bunch of ground beef and pork to make taco meat (homemade seasoning), beef taco skillet, (I make it with more spieces) and vietnamese caramelised pork for next weekend when the kids are home (Angus is coming home for Canadian Thanksgiving for the first time in literally years. Eve said "omg, we're getting the band back together?)
That tweet reminds me of when we opened the local paper and saw a picture of Angus with his cooking class visiting a local butcher and getting to help them make a turducken. I was like "we asked you what happened that day and you said 'nothing' - A TURDUCKEN).
Lucy.

Everyone's coming home! That's lovely.
It is literally SWELTERING out. I was sitting talking outside with a friend and I could feel LITERAL DROPS OF SWEAT falling off my legs and hitting the ground. It is October 6th. What is going on??
Also, it is supposed to rain and get cold when Kae and Sarah come visit me. I'm a poor excuse of a blogger if I can't get the weather to cooperate. SIGH. But we desperately need rain as the wildfire situation in Nova Scotia is pretty grim in our local area right now.
On to happier things. What pretty pictures. Lucy always looks so content and snuggly. And I am so glad you are getting a cooler Thanksgiving so you can feel a bit cozier with your reunited "band."
