What a lovely weekend this has been. I talked in an earlier post about fall being one of my favorite times of year. When the weather is like this, it sure is!
Today Chad and I went for a nice walk across the Sturgeon River to a local coffee shop. Lots of people, young and old are out walking, skateboarding or bike riding. The leaves are mostly gone off of the trees now and are crunchy on the ground. I like the sound they make when you shuffle through them.
This year for the Childrens festival some sculptures were brought in and displayed behind City Hall. They are made of stone and are really beautiful. My favorite is the bear. She is so smooth and heart warming, her caption says - "Mother Bear Prays for Earth Healing". The sculptures were meant to be on display temporarily, but because they have been so popular and well received, the city has agreed to purchase them and they will stay in their current location.
When we got home we started to bring some of the patio furniture in and gradually prepare the yard for winter. I always like to get a mum and put it in our front porch pot to help extend the season a bit. The summer flowers all died after the frost, so the mum I planted will last until the snow balls fly. I am one of those people that likes to kind of reflect the seasons on the front porch.
So Mother Nature, keep the nice weather coming!

I love the fall too, it's my favorite season for a lot of reasons! Glad you guys are getting out to enjoy it, for some reason I picture Chad baracaded in a computer room most of the time :)I was in St.Albert last Thursday and the trees were just so pretty, I saw a porcupine get smooshed on the way out there and that wasn't so pretty but otherwise it was just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteO no, those porcupines move so slowly, poor guys. Chad is on the computer a lot but we do like to get out for walks now and then. Either go for a coffee or lunch or just a walk around to get some exercise.
