Celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving Late

There is a lot to be grateful for at the end of the growing season

Christine Saint - Pierre up in Victoriaville , Quebec , sent in these beautiful photos on Thanksgiving Day — Canadian Thanksgiving , that is , which was on October 14 . It has taken me a little bit to discover a time to share them here on the GPOD , but they are still well within meter for Thanksgiving for those of us in the United States .

A sedum ( Sedumspectabile , Zones 3–9 ) is flowering as well , providing a much - needed ambrosia repast to a small moth .
