Taking Advantage of The Great Fall Weather

Sun and and blue skies are a magnet to get outdoors

We are sure enjoying this great fall weather.  Daytime temperatures are warm and the blue skies draw us outdoors.  There is a bit of outdoor fall work to accomplish; namely gathering leaves, but that is fun too.

Easton came by for a sleepover while his mom flew to Edmonton to present a couple of seminars.  We sure had fun with him.  He's engaging and very easy to look after.  He also keeps himself occupied with toys.  When he wants something, Easton takes our finger and leads us to someplace.  That happened a few times when he wanted to go outdoors.  So, outdoors we went.  He is amazingly communicative at 18 months of age.

The motorcycle came in handy for touring the great country roads.

Jeanette loves fall and she especially enjoys viewing the fall colours.  Well, our motorcycle rides quenched her thirst.  We saw multi-fall colours everywhere we rode.

We are formulating our snowbirding plans.  With the rain patter on the roof this morning, it gets my travel juices going.  We've been discussing our plans, these past several weeks, and we'll reveal those in the days ahead.

Easton had no issues with spending the night at our home. When bedtime called, he was quick to sleep.  And sleep he did!  He whimpered once or twice (more dreamlike whimpering) but apart from that, he slept all night long.  We had a lot of fun. 

Trevor - Easton's Dad - joined us for dinner on Friday evening before collecting Easton and his stuff and heading for their home.  To see Easton react when he saw his Dad was thrilling.  He'll be equally thrilled when his Mom gets back home.

Ginette returns from Edmonton this evening and we'll use her vehicle to pick her up at the airport.  From there, she will drop us off at home and continue the 10 minutes further west to their home.

Jeanette's friend, Ione, dropped by and, before long, they were off on a long walk through the trails of Aldergrove Park.

Jeanette and I chose a hike in the woods yesterday.  The foliage was captivating with its great fall colours.  It felt so good to get a decent workout in the quiet woods.

These ferns change colour with the seasons.

We encountered a few hikers but the trail was otherwise ours!

Our forecast calls for more great fall weather, going forward....and what's not to like about that. 

That's pretty much the story from here, for now. 

Thanks for dropping by.
