Pumpkins

A field for pumpkins partly harvested, this is in York.

The fall colours are starting to show on some trees, this was taken in Tracadie Cross.
I helped with the Raise A Reader program this morning in Cornwall. At 4:30 I drove to Winsloe and with another TO we cycled to Tracadie Cross and back to Winsloe arriving back at 7:50 PM.
It is now dark at 7:30 so we were using lights from York to Winsloe.
Another warm day a 24.

Giant egg

This coloured egg is in the town park in Vegreville.

Route 13 has a nice paved shoulder to cycle on.

This machine is at the Sodbuster's museum in Strome. Can anyone tell me what it was used for?

Overcast with showers in morning and rain this evening. I helped a neighbor cut up a large tree this morning, it needed the 24" chainsaw as it was over three feet in diameter. I then repaired a leaking faucet. I was surprised that when I went for parts, there was no charge because it was a Moem and at least 30 years old. I then mowed the lawn just finishing before the rain started.
