And while it was cloudy & gray before the sunrise, it was fun to find another flag that someone has placed at the end of a pier out by the lighthouse. Dark & gloomy… with a splash of piece, love & TIE-DYE!!!

Such an amazing way to start the day. Pastel colors blowing through the city as the waves came crashing in. A chilly start… but now I’m ready for Thanksgiving at my sister’s place for PIE!!!

Such a joy to finally see the sun again this morning. Sure it was cold… about 27-degrees when I started out… but there have been far too many dark gray & dreary days in a row. I just had to get out on my bike for a beautiful sunrise. Plus, I found a new flag that someone put out by the lake that really made me SMILE!!!

So it seems as though I might have a little Christmas Elf wreaking sweet havoc in my world?! It started with some goodies randomly appearing on my Teacher Shelf at Lillstreet. And then more sweet treats appeared at my condo this weekend!!! You know I love a good OREO & a good Scavenger Hunt. I’m not quite sure who the Elf is… but they obviously know me too well… and I’ve narrowed it down to two Elfish suspects!!!
