Fall is upon us!

We just noticed the fruit tree in front of the RV has begun to turn color and shed its leaves and the silver maples are about 25% turned as I write.




The hay and other grains are rolled up for the winter, either to be plastic wrapped or stored in the barn.




The Queen Anne's Lace and goldenrod in the fields are mature and quite lush this year.





And the geese are finding places to stage their southward travel. This pond has more thatn a hundred of the honkers stocking up for the winter trip.




This is a short season, but the hints of nature let us know it is time to start planning our migration to the south and we are doing just that. We are still planning on leaving Meaford and the Roebuck Campground on the 15th of September and heading to Thunder Bay and then toward Duluth.
