Fall is in the air







Well it's that time again, when you wake in the mornings with frost on the ground and ice on your windows. The day slowly gets warm and just when you think the day is warm and beautiful, the sun goes down and it's cold again. That being said, we have tried to take advantage of the warm weekends to get some things down around the house and go see the beautiful fall Foilage in Ontario. For those of you who don't know Ottawa has the most beautiful tree colors I have ever seen. There are Red, orange, yellow, green and Brown. The red and orange leaves stand out the most. While on one of our excursions I tried to capture the colors but the pictures do not do it justice. It is something you just have to experience.



Our excurions this Fall have not included our typical Gatineau Park or Pumpkin Farm. This year we went to The Mill of Kintail(about 15min from our house) and Luskville Falls(on the Quebec side. Both had hiking trails, an abundance of colorful leaves and water. The kids love throwing rocks or twigs in the water and looking for different insects etc.. I was happy i could get a few nice pictures.




Last night Ron racked the leaves in the front yard and made piles for the kids to jump in. They had lots of fun but became cold fast and were in the house for some hot chocolate. I must say I'm glad we don't have as many trees as some of our neighbours or we could be out there for days (like them) raking those leaves.
The weather is cooling down and were supposed to have some rain. I just hope it doesn't turn to snow.
Happy Fall
