Doors
A drive through a rural area that I had not visited in some time … a breath of fresh air, living in a bustling city with constant traffic, near 4 major hospitals, a baseball stadium, and bustling commercial areas, this was a drive that was soothing and restful. Hope you enjoy the doors that we passed along the way,
For more doors please visit Dan’s No Facilities site.. where other door/architecture enthusiast will be posting their doors for this week, https://nofacilities.com/2023/10/12/aug-sept-leftovers/ His post today outlines and gives information on Thursday Doors, should you be interested in posting yourself.
Everyone has their own way of seeing and thinking, There are different points of view and ways of thinking which makes it interesting and creates new ideas. Try to enjoy other’s expressions.

Have a good day everyone… smile …brighten your day and those around you,
Enjoy!
Talk about a quiet little hide-a-way. I was just telling a friend who asked how I have been doing the last while how much I enjoyed the change of seasons. We have gone from days on end of above average sunshine and hot weather, to typical fall weather, cool, damp, raining days/nights / with periods of clear skies.
Colours were appearing everywhere, the skies were blue and beckoning. Not so yesterday when I passed by these trees, the rain had pelted down for hours on them, many of the leaves had given up and let go, Change can happen in an instant. When it does, what is there to do but accept. Today is another day.
I came across the picture of the little hide-a-way when I was looking for something else, It struck me as being peaceful. Had me wondering what it must be like to live tucked away like that ,.. is it an opening to a cave, or just a deep overhang.?? I had collected the picture for one of my Thursday door blogs, and today isn’t Thursday, but I wanted to spend time “imagining/dreaming” of just what this little “home” was all about. Anyone out there, does it spark an interest?
Enjoy what happens. people who can enjoy anything happening to them receive wisdom for the next step. Try to work on things without being overly concerned.

Imagine the changes,.. from Argentina to Canada…. a part of Canada where we have 4 seasons… let your imagination run on that.
Enjoy the day everyone, it comes around only once, tomorrow, will be something brand new.
Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! (note the turkeys are watching their backs!!!)
Dark>light
Day follows night. Seasons change. Fall is slowly creeping in, the colours are beginning to emerge, the darkness when I wake at 5 is always something I have to get used to, During the longer days when there is light… I feel so much peppier. If one can be peppy at 5 a.m. The colours tho’ when I drive along to the conservation area are magnificent. Every day there is a new discovery. Truly … you can drive by in one direction and be totally taken in by the scene before you… then coming back with the sun higher and coming from behind you, it is another vista altogether. Nothing can compare to the showcase Nature provides us with when we take the time to look and enjoy,
“The best timing is when you notice ” PL calendar 2022.5
“Is there anything I can help you with?” Enjoy a feeling of happiness to contribute to those around you. It will give you confidence that you have something you can do for others.

BOO
Time to harvest and gather in the supplies. The cooler weather is on its way, some mornings there is a nip in the air. The little ones are not wasting any time gathering when I put out the feed. The woodland floor becomes alive with little chipmunks and squirrels. The chipmunks are little darlings, they can stuff a peanut on either side of their mouth and still get a third one in before they scamper off to fill their larder.
Depending on where you are, there are areas where the colours are so vibrant they scream out , daring you not to notice, while other areas are still slow to change.
Today being the first of the month, in PL, we celebrate with a special ceremony. We pray for World Peace. Service will be at 10 a,m EST. If you are unable to make it to the church, please take a moment in quiet prayer/contemplation, to remember to practice being a peaceful human being in our/your own world which includes home, school, work and community,
Let’s pray for world peace. The path to world peace will open up with each person’s prayer for peace.

le hot dog steame
I have recently travelled many miles to find a good old fashioned steamed hot dog, the way I grew up loving them. I grew up in la Belle Province de Quebec. Please read all about the Quebec Hot dog in this piece I found on good old Google https://roadstories.ca/hotdog-steame-steamy/ There is nothing like the feel of the warm steamed bun, the hot dog covered in the toppings of your choice . I had to take the picture from the internet of the hot dog because when I finally found a steamed hotdog made the old fashioned way, I devoured it.. My sister said I didn’t breathe, I simply ate. She was being kind and didn’t mention the sounds I was making of “pure gastronomic pleasure”. (shown is an .. all dressed)
My Mother made them at home for us from time to time, but it is never like getting it at the roadside casse croute/diner or establishment that makes them … serving them with real French fries, cut on location, and made fresh… Not the ready made we get in a lot of places now. Sigh. I could go on, but I will spare you, suffice to say if you are in Quebec where they are still serving a real steamed hot dog. Indulge. The diner where I finally got one after searching for several weeks here in Ottawa and on the Quebec side of the river, is on 10th line in Orleans and is called La Belle Province,*
Today’s calendar..
Get things started with Grit. If you work on things in daily life with the attitude of “let’s do it” you will feel a power to accomplish things People around you will rely on you..

Prayer
Praying before taking action changes outcome. Have clear wishes and do your best. Then something new will open up for you.

Put Makoto even into small things. Don’t let things go with “oh well”. You will have a different outcome if you put Makoto (sincerity) into your actions

In Perfect Liberty we believe in prayer (positive thinking/meditation) whatever the definition is to you, it is when we take time to be present in our world, and focus with full intent on what it is we are thinking of at that moment in time.
On the 21st we hold special service with a ceremony that expresses our gratitude and appreciation. It is a time where we focus on the physical and mental sufferings of not only PL members but of society/friends family/and everyone who needs that extra layer of love/healing in their lives.
The 21st is set aside for a service of appreciation, however, prayer for others and healing and loving energy is something that is needed 24 hours a day ..every day.. When I am asked for prayer I gladly add time in my daily meditations to include those who need a helping hand. I know many of you share my “way” and believe in the power of prayer.
Please today, add a universal prayer for the sick and lonely, this is a season of change, many won’t ask for help, but they are struggling. When I was younger, I would see people on the bus as we travelled towards our destinations, make a small cross on their forehead (with thumb)when we passed a cemetery or church. I took that in, liked it, I like the respect that it showed and adopted it in “my thinking/beliefs” A small gesture but it meant a lot to me.
When we believe we express our appreciation for blessings we have received.. Let’s pass it on.
The parking lot was empty, I was alone there, but in reality I was not.. the woods were teeming with life, and behind me eating in the feeding area, were over a dozen wild turkeys, half a dozen blue jays, mourning doves, chickadees, nuthatch, chipmunks and squirrels, and my ever present raven was carrying on with his daily bulletin on life as he sees it. Cuz you don’t see something… doesn’t mean that. that is what IS!

ps. there was a cute little bunny hopping around just out immediate sight of the camera
well! hello there
This little gal has been popping over in the mornings for treats. At first she was the only one that graced the dining area… now.. I’ve noticed she has male suitors? or friends who are also joining her at the feeders. AND I’m happy to report .. the chickadees are coming around, I’ve seen them now at both P22 and P23. Last fall/winter they were not around too much. I’m hoping that with the change in menu they might show up more regularly,
If you’re going to do it, do it joyfully. If you have to o something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm. By doing so, you will experience a deeper sense of beauty.
