It's not Thanksgiving yet, plus HNT

In my head, I had planned a Thanksgiving post to put up today, but now upon further investigation, I realize I'm a week early. (I'm not blonde, it's just a non-event north of the border)

Today is Spouse's birthday (for you francophones, "spouse" is non-gender in English and can represent either "husband" or "wife") and I wish we could give him a splendid party, alas, today is the magazine deadline at his work, so he will probably need to work late. I'll have a special supper for him tonight. Happy Birthday bébé!

So I guess it's also HNT. What better excuse to expose my sicker side. Thus, I give you, my impression of George Bush.

And because I've little else in mind, and due to the nice compliments from the first batch, here are three more pics from Sunday's walk in the park that didn't make the first cut.


This was another tree bearing fruit. This and the red berry picture from Sunday were both marked as "Crabapples" of which they had many, many varieties.













Here I am in the Chinese garden area.







It really was a fabulous day.












And finally, another one of the gnarled tree.
