Spectacular Colour!

Thursday, October 16, 2008

Is it just my imagination this autumn or are the colours more brilliant than ever? Especially the Sumacs. Everywhere I go in the Georgian Triangle I'm blown away by how vibrant their colour is! I think I'll have to establish a plot of them at my cottage.

Have you picked up your pumpkin for Halloween yet. I'm impressed by how creative people can be when it comes to the carving process each year. C'mon folks...let's get into the Spirit!

On my way home one day, I stopped to watch a Little League base ball game that was being played in a park near my home. As I sat down behind the bench on the first-base line, I asked one of the boys what the score was

'We're behind 14 to nothing,' he answered with a smile.

'Really,' I said. 'I have to say you don't look very discouraged.'

'Discouraged?', the boy asked with a puzzled look on his face...
'Why should we be discouraged? We haven't been up to bat yet.'
