We've been very lucky with the weather lately. People keep telling me it's been unseasonably warm this year.
But I know the snow is coming soon, so we've been soaking up the outdoors as much as possible lately.

We went hiking with some friends and got to try some "Cree tea"... which essentially is regular black tea boiled on an open fire inside a teepee, where it picks up a bit of smokey flavour. It certainly hit the spot!
It's cranberry season up north - just in time for Canadian Thanksgiving next weekend. I'm planning to make fresh cranberry sauce from the berries I collected.
We found the wild cranberries growing on the banks of James Bay (a freezing cold extension of the arctic ocean). It's funny to think that we are 'living by the sea' up here. It's not really what you think of when you picture a seaside town.
I wasn't sure I was going to get to see any colour changes this fall, since 90% of the trees up here are evergreens. But turns out we have a lot of poplars too, and they form this amazing yellow tunnel along the roadside.
I hope you're having a great week so far.
