It has turned cold between a few mild days with 10 degrees. The temperatures are more in the low single digits now and the overnights often are below freezing. A week of rain is in the forecast with high winds early in the week. We can’t complain though when we compare our weather to the west coast of Canada. With the fires of the past season and now the rain, the west coast is suffering. People here can empathize with the farmers and their losses and the devastation on so many levels.
Christmas shopping is going well and I hope to finish next week. I am shopping locally as much as possible though it doesn’t help when a clerk comments, “No, we don’t carry that item. Have you tried on-line?”
Our daughter, a nurse, is working this Christmas. Therefore our Christmas celebration will be later that week, just before New Year’s. My husband and I will have a quiet Christmas Day.
Lately we’ve been walking between the raindrops in our warmest winter clothes. It takes time to acclimatize to the winter weather again. We haven’t given up on another picnic using our stove but it won’t be this week. I’ll be walking on the treadmill at home. We really miss our walks in nature though.
I am having cataract surgery on the second eye tomorrow. This requires three days of a drop regimen in that eye. However on one occasion, I dosed the good eye with the drops. Six weeks of drops in that now good eye made it hard to remember to dose the other one. At least I caught the mistake.
I won’t be blogging for a few weeks though I will follow your posts. Take care everyone. To my American blogging friends, Happy Thanksgiving!

Good luck with your second cataract surgery tomorrow! Have a wonderful holiday season and see you in the New Year!
I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday, and I look forward to any posts you might decide to put up. You are one of my favorite virtual family friends. :-)
I hope, your eye will be better again. It is American Thanksgiving already!
Winter days with snow are just around the corner!
Hope you, and your eye, get well soon!
So I Jumped On The Commuter Bike This Morning At 26F And Thought That It Was Chilly - But Now, I Have Nothing To Complain About And My Eyes See Clearly - Its All In Persecutive - I Thank You For That - Sending Positive Vibes And Big Hugs
Cheers
Rest and listen to music. : ))
I hope your second eye operation goes as well as the first. Take care.
Good luck with the eye surgery. Take it easy and relax.

Yes, winter creeps in on us. I am really looking forward to seeing it. My second pre-op surgery appointment is tomorrow. I'll think of you.
Best wishes for an easy time and excellent result. I have never regretted getting mine done.
Did you say the word 'Christmas'? With 'shopping'? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAArgh.
All the best with the second operation, Marie. You will fully appreciate your wonderful nature when this eye is clear again.
I wish you well with the eye surgery. Hope your days will be full of fun things to keep you busy.

Good luck on your surgery.
So glad you are getting that second eye done. You will be so glad and that camera eye will be even sharper.
Wishing you all the best with the surgery. Take care.
Hello, Marie

Yes i know the sentence "Have you tried on line??" ;)
Best wishes to you !
Prayers all goes well, and for walking outdoors again. You will be missed on the blogging trails.
Good luck with the additional surgery, Marie. Iam sure it will be a piece of cake. Look forward to your return.
Hope all goes well.
The car told me the external temperature this morning was 1.5 degrees, which is quite cold for us. Walking well wrapped up was fine though.
I too am getting ready for cataract surgery. You just stay warm.
Wow two of my blog friends getting eye surgery. I do move with a in-syc group. Your holiday sounds just as it should be. Peaceful.
Good luck with your surgery. We will miss your posts but also know you will be back soon.
I hope your eye surgery goes well, Marie. Like you, I'm almost done my Christmas shopping, and tried to do mostly local, too. It is difficult sometimes.
The devastation from the floods has been really incredible and we are noticing empty shelves in our stores (but there is still plenty), and we have gas rationing (30 l) limit. We have much to be thankful for, considering the losses some have suffered.
Take care and I hope you heal well.
Best of luck with your surgery.I hear from people who have had it that it makes such an amazing difference.
Sending you healing wishes for you surgery.
May God bless the hands and hearts of those involved with performing your surgery. Wishing a smooth and restful healing process.
best wishes with your surgery. i will miss your entries as i always enjoy them!! “No, we don’t carry that item. Have you tried on-line?” i have been given that advice as well but like you, i still try to support the local shops!!
All the best for your surgery. Wonderful Post! Have a great day!

Hope the eye came out well. Mine will be done Monday. Yes, missing the outdoors walks.
Good luck with the surgery. We've not had good weather of late, but as you said; still better than the West Coast. We had a lovely Thanksgiving and probably will do the same for Christmas, just keeping things small to stay away from large groups. Take Care.
It will be a happy blogger day when you get back and good luck with the cataract surgery ... Having had it done on both eyes I can tell you it's exciting to see things anew `
thinking of you!!
I am wondering how the eye surgery went. Well, I hope.
i hope you are doing well...i miss you!!
Hi, Marie, what a lot of well wishes! You are blessed with many bloggy friends. I would imagine that by now your surgery was successful and you are glad it’s behind you. Take good care of yourself.❤️
Good luck with your cataract surgery. I had one eye done (the other doesn't need it yet) which leaves me in the strange situation of having very different vision in each eye. Seems to work out fine, though. Somehow I have gotten used to it!
You will have had the surgery already so I hope it went smoothly and you are having a speedy recovery.
Hope you're doing well and that you're able to get out for some walks at least!
WOW....10 degrees. That is crazy. Here in Tennessee we have had a few cold days but we keep bouncing from 70s to the 40s and back to the 70s. Last weekend 75, and this Sat. will be 72. Winter/ Mother Nature has not a clue!!
best wishes for your surgery dear Marie !
it makes me sad too that your walks will be restricted due to winters ,i will be missing the soul refreshing images i see at your blog and feel like a magical window i have opened towards the heaven . each weather has unique beauty though your winters compete to our summers in harshness which make mobility impossible till they last .
best wishes for the Christmas shopping too .
be well ,health ,peace and happiness to you and yours!
Hello, just wanted to stop by and wish you a merry Christmas!
