October Perfection



I wish I could tell you in words how much I enjoyed my day. I went hiking and did a lot of driving through the countryside. It was only a week or so ago that I was saying the leaves weren't yet at their peak of colour but I'd say the peak is happening now or it may have already passed. With all the wind we've had this autumn the leaves are blown off as soon as they are loose enough. There are more bare branches than is usual for this far into the display. The display is awesome, nonetheless and won't be here much longer. I'm going to enjoy the beauty as often as I can in the next week.

I did an hour hike but it took me an hour and a half because I was photographing as well. I got a good sweat on several times. I went to other sights too but no other long hikes. I think it is exactly what I'm going to do tomorrow as well. Soon it will be cold and dressing is more difficult as you have to dress for winter but get too hot. It's easier to control now.

I had a funny friend for dinner last night and it I have sore muscles it won't be from hiking. The laugh muscles are sore. A few people dropped in last evening. A good time was had by all.

Music for today is hiking music. I was humming either this song, Akua Tuta by Kashtin or I'm Saying Hello by Dan Hicks that I put up earlier in the week. Still Water by Daniel Lanois is perfect for the day. I hiked around two large ponds and there was lots of lovely water views. There are Putfile problems again so today I'm using the other site I sometimes use.

Whew - The Weekend


Another week of work over. I'm off for the weekend and just got an email that a friend is coming over from a neighbouring province and wants to go to my beach. Oh yeah! I can do that! I get a day off during the week next week and will look at the long range weather forecast before I choose my day. I need some good weather! It rained last evening and we had heavy rain overnight and this morning. Some parts of the province got more heavy rain this afternoon.

I was wishing I had some songs by Kashtin uploaded previous to this. I posted some stained glass window photos on my Shutterchance blog earlier in the week and would have liked one of these songs to accompany them. Too late for that but not to late to enjoy some of the sound that made Kashtin a memorable Canadian band. Here's Akua Tuta and My People (Nikanish).
