As it is everywhere...........
We are having one last summer weather day here, though it is 37º outside right now forecast to get to 82º later today. Starting tomorrow the highs are to be in the 60's and then 50's. Time to start thinking about heading south. Plan now to leave on October 21st for Texas.
We retrieved our Ford Excursion and our small trailer from where we had previously stored our travel trailer. Made room in the garage for the trailer and now can store stuff this winter both inside the trailer and on top of its solid roof.
Can still park the car and the recumbent trikes, so works well.
Though we have had only one light frost here in Clarinda the trees are really turning. Picture at right is looking off our deck to the trees directly behind our house. Of course, the picture doesn't show the brilliant yellow quite like you see in person when the sun is shining directly on it.
This is a tree in front of the Methodist Church in Clarinda that always puts on a show this time of year and is again doing it's thing.
Leaves are falling from some of the trees, especially the one by the shop. Have vacuumed them up several times and put the chopped leaves in my mulching box in the back yard. Have filled it and with no rain falling it is not doing much activity.
Here are some of the leaves raked in to piles.
Here is the Worx vacuum/chopper doing its thing.
Last Saturday was annual Band Day in Clarinda. Some 51 bands marched downtown in the morning and then competed on the football field in the afternoon. I didn't go, but Phyllis did - meeting Patty Steckelberg and her granddaughter Olivia. They came to the house at noon for some grilled hotdogs and lunch. We ate on the back deck in the nice sunshine.
I have put up some 500 plus pictures up to my Picasa web site on our time in Montreal and added some more to my Quebec album.
Touring Montreal Just click this site and take a look if you want.
Till sometime later, Lynn
