A gust of wind just blew a big swarm of leaves past my dining room window. Yup, it’s that time of year again.

I, for one, welcome the milder temps! Yesterday was the first day it’s been below 85 here in weeks. Maybe even months. And today is only supposed to be in the low-to-mid 70s. Bring it on!

Great googly moogly...! I thought you were going to report that, newly a cane-walker, you fell and got hurt! Whew.
Lovely autumnal weather, yes. Nice.

Oh, I fell a couple of weeks ago. Scary as heck. Scraped some skin off my left knee. Took what seemed like forever to get back on my feet. And the inspiration for the cane.

I like the cooler weather, colors, and other things about autumn, but not the increased darkness. I like to go to the park and play disc golf, and I have a harder time fitting it in.

Oof JB. I think it’s time for that Rosie the Robot assistant to be there just in case. Hope you’re ok. 💐

Trees started loosing leaves during the summer over here - the drought really did a number on them. Thankfully, the rains seemed to have perked them back up - the grass certainly seems to have made up for all the growth it missed since the rains came back.

Summertime boy here. My happy place starts at 75 degrees. Happier at 85. Fall’s arrival means I start shivering a lot and dreading Winter. The leaves are pretty though. And John, glad you’re okay.

One of my favourite memories is of flying over Newfoundland in late September and seeing the beautiful site of all the shades of red, brown, orange yellow and green in the forests below. Truly stunning.
Yes, James my lawn is actually lush now with only a few bare patches and my borders are full of new growth after a month of rain. Gardens much prefer rainwater to tap water!
