We went to Fitzpatrick Mountain in Scotsburn, our previous hikes at this spot have been in the winter and on snowshoes. So it was nice to see the hill in a different season.

October Hike
After eating a lot of food on Saturday we decided to go for a hike on Sunday, it's also handy that the leaves are changing colour these days.

Thanksgiving
We celebrated Thanksgiving on Saturday this year and it was a pretty great decision, cooking and eating this much needs a 2 day recovery period.
To spruce the place up for fall we picked up some gourds from the market and I finally moved the dried hydrangeas to a vase:
Our neighbour gave us another bouquet of dahlias for our Thanksgiving centrepiece:
We ordered our turkey from the market and picked it up from the farm this past Tuesday, it was great to be able to pick it up from the farm rather than the freezer at the grocery store:
Our guests brought a diverse and yummy spread of food, we will have left overs for days (HOORAY!)

Mini-Honeymoon
To unwind after a very busy couple of days Greg and I headed to Wolfville for the night. We stayed at an AMAZING Bed & Breakfast (In Wolfville Bed and Breakfast), had amazing food, picked apples, slept in and enjoyed both the rainy and sunny weather.
For dinner on Sunday night we went to Privet House and we both had amazing meals. It's a cozy little spot with a very tasty menu.
This is the B&B we stayed in, beautiful right?
Despite looking older from the outside, we learned the house is only 12 years old. There is a lot of charm inside but with a totally modern feel. The bed is king sized and was SO comfortable!
There was a fireplace in our room, but it didn't throw heat it just looked really pretty in the evening.
Wolfville is a beautiful place, particularly in the fall.
We headed down to the water and the tide was out leaving lots and lots of mud!
As you do in the Valley in the fall we went apple picking!
In addition to apple orchards this U-Pick has roosters and pigs. I might have gotten the pigs a bit too excited trying to take a picture of them - they started oinking and grunting like crazy...we left quickly.
For lunch on Monday we went to The Port in Port Williams. This was another great meal, in addition to being a restaurant they are a micro-brew. Their bar was lined with hanging hops (blurry picture on the right) and if your beer wasn't hoppy enough you could ask for some hops to add to it!
A lovely view from our table inside, on a warmed day this deck would be the perfect spot to watch the tide come in and out.

Wedding Day!
Greg and I got married last weekend - hooray! There were lots and lots of photos taken, but I only managed to take a few - oddly there are none of Greg! To fill in such an important person I took to Facebook and borrowed a photo that Greg's Aunt Cheryl posted (thanks Cheryl!)
To rewind a little bit, we started our day at the hotel and kicked it off with breakfast:
A mid-hair shot at Life Salon and Spa, check out those waves (and mimosa!)
I am very excited to see the professional photos, but until then here are a mis-mash of lovely guests:
Dave, a thoughtful and generous friend dressed himself in a varied of plaids for the wedding. I couldn't miss this opportunity to highlight this fact and point out such a creative styling choice. Well done Dave:
My phone was borrowed for a little bit, unbeknown to me, and came back with this picture of two pretty ladies:
The best flower girl ever!
These four folks helped to decorate the hall, thank yoooooou for all of your hard work!
After the party closed down at the Boat Club we kept it going in downtown Halifax at the Foggy Goggle. Partying continued for another 2 hours and eventually we got sleepy, as Allison is appropriately demonstrating on the right:
All in all an awesome day despite a few showers earlier in the morning and early afternoon. Thanks to everyone who made our wedding day so special and unforgettable!
