October already!

Wow,  it's been almost 7 weeks since I last blogged, it's already October.  Fall, one of my favourite times of the year.  The leaves are starting to change colour to vibrant yellows, oranges and reds.  In the morning and evening I hear the geese fly over head, it's 7:15pm right now and I can hear them honking away, not sure what they're up to but must be getting ready to head to a warmer place for those that migrate.  The days are so much shorter, the sun now sets at 6:40 and in a little over three weeks we'll be turning back our clocks and the days will be even shorter.  Fall that cozy time of year.
