Is it Fall?

They said it was but I’m not sure if I believe it. Today is supposed to be a record breaking day, we are a week away from October and our high today is 32 degrees Celsius(89 for you ‘Merican Folks :) )!! Our normal for this time of year is only 16(60)! Double, yes DOUBLE what we should be!! LOL

Temperatures like this are too hot for me! I wish it could be 20 degrees(give or take a few degrees) all the time! That would be perfect weather!

So the boys and I went for a walk this morning before it got too hot, of course it got hot fast and by the time we were heading back home the sun was already too hot for me. I came home with sausages for fingers they were so swollen. I actually remembered to take my camera this time though so took some pics of our walk through the community.

First we walked around the big storm pond near our house, I’ve seen these in some communities and they’re really yucky, I like that this one they keep it nice all around it and it’s part of the park. This time of year the pond is full of Canadian Geese. Yesterday afternoon there were a ton of them, not quite as many this morning though:

Tried to catch some as they landed in the water:

The boys running ahead of me:

Pretty fall trees at the acreage across the street: (I love living at the edge of the city where you get and see it all; full city communities and pastures of horses side by side)

One bad part of all the Geese is that you need to watch where you walk, because there is plenty of this:  (that is Goose poop in case you can`t tell LOL)

Then we followed the path up and along the another side of the community. Next to the path is creek-like flower beds, this year they have lots of Pussy Willows. I don`t know why but I have always liked them, funny looking things though:

The boys walking the rocks on the other side of the ``creek-bed``(yes, Jman on the right, my 11 year old has started the ``I must hunch over because I`m tall and I`m a teenager`` pose….even though he is not yet a teenager):

Some reminders that not too long ago we would drive past this area and it was still someone`s farm. This borders the community and separates us from a highway:

This used to be part of a cow carcass. We first found this carcass in a lot when we moved to the community, but I never remembered to bring my camera along on our walks before today. Unfortunately the lot has turned into a dumping ground for the construction crews in the area. There are now only pieces of the carcass spread around…it was whole the first time we saw it….ok, yes I have boys so this was rather exciting LOL.

  

And lastly, this one of a couple of traffic circles in our community. I highly suggest that everyone learn how to use one of these. As shocking as it is a LOT of people are clueless as to how a traffic circle works. I don`t drive and I know how it works, so people, please learn since this is not a high traffic area yet we have almost been hit a few times by people who did not know they did not have right of way(or didn`t care, could very well have been that too).

That was our Fall walk on a very Summer-like day….notice not a cloud in the sky…normally we are preparing for our first bit of snow to arrive within a few weeks….which could still very well happen. We had a late but extremely cold and snowy winter last year. We also did not have a super warm summer(which is totally ok with me!)…but it seems we are making up for some of that now LOL.
