Blogtober 5: A Sunday Walk

 


Beautiful sunshine beckoned us outdoors this afternoon. The light danced on the water. Breezy gusts tugged leaves from the trees, and twirled them around in a dance as they fell to the ground. 



The water in Tod Inlet looked odd today with streaks of red and brown. A quick online check told us that there was a red algae bloom - a red tide, but this one is not toxic. Still, there were very few birds, a sign that something isn't quite right.


How beautiful the leaves grow old
How full of light and colour are their last days.
J. Burroughs

Our Western Maple leaves turn yellow, not red as the Eastern Maples do. 



It was so lovely to just stand in the warmth of the sun and watch leaves fall. 


Our youngest daughter and her family came for dinner this evening. Apple Crisp was on the menu for dessert, always a favourite. We often get together with all of our children and grandchildren, but it's also nice to visit with individual families. They didn't stay long as the little girls needed to get to bed since tomorrow is a school day. Before they left they put on a little acrobatic show for us that they called Tricks and Talents. Very cute. 

Sunshine is in the forecast for the next week. We'll be sure to take advantage of it.
