Cycling

 Hundreds of geese at Ellen's creek today.

I cycled into Victoria park, then to the trail at Joe Ghiz park, then cycled the trail to Winsloe and then home logging 30 km. Lots of leaves on the trail in places.  It was mostly overcast at 6.
So far we have had 13 children come to the door looking for treats.

Yard work

 I spend the afternoon with the lawn mower with the bagger cutting the grass and picking up the leaves, I filled one cell in the compost bin.

I put 12 wheelbarrow loads of compost on the garden, still needs to be worked in.

By the looks of this cloud a cold front is moving in. It was -5 last night and the high for the day was 5.
I planned on doing some cycling but I was too long doing the yard work.

Home

 Any guesses on where this rest stop in Canada is?

The maple trees have dropped all their leaves, I will need to get to work on them tomorrow.
Mostly sunny at 5 today.

Travelling days

 Couple of days ago we had frost in the morning.

Yesterday I had my first flat on the bike.   We start for home on the weekend.

A sunny day at a cool 9 with a light wind. It was -1.5 with frost here this morning.

Soybeans

 A good looking field  of soybeans, I expect it will be harvested any day now.

It should be a good crop as lots of pods on each plant.
I had breakfast with radio club members today, I mowed the lawn using the bagger after lunch to pick up some leaves. Because of stopping to empty the bag, it took over two hours.
Overcast with a high of 9.  Forecast for tonight is a low of 1

 The trees by the trail are showing their fall colours.

About 4.5 km from route3 is a rest area, the trail goes both sides of the big hemlocks.
The maple is showing a nice shade of red.
A little cooler today but still a nice day at 14.
