Fall Fell

We've been enjoying some glorious autumn weather, our favourite time of year. Between some yardwork and fall maintenance around the property, plus lots of walks down at the suddenly even more beautiful provincial park, we've been making the most of the season.

Serendipity saw us stop at the Leamington marina on a rather windy day - mainly killing time until one of our cats was ready for pickup at the vet - and were rewarded with some artistically angry water.

We had some visitors to the yard, including a family of deer, likely drawn to our small apple trees and the corn field across the road. We also had quite a few monarch butterflies stop by, though we definitely saw a lot more of them on our walks down at the park.

We even managed to pull off a late Thanksgiving dinner with Dave, when he came to stay with us for a few days. It was delayed a few times by COVID lockdowns at his retirement home, but in the end we had a great visit and Jane topped it off with a delicious meal.

Iceland Revisited

A friend enjoyed following our Iceland trip so much.....they actually mapped it out as we/they went!

Pretty cool - not only shows our route, but the interactive versions let you zoom in for more local detail, plus click on actual sites, towns etc. that we visited.
