Fall colours Part 1

 We took advantage of a nice Monday (Sept. 28) to go for a drive. The colours never last long. We're in the middle of a big storm front.


The sumac are the brightest red.
These are almost all drive-by shootings. I just hang out of the window. 

This is cottage country, and most cottagers are back in the city. I love the cottage signage, all lined up on the dead tree.
This red car, sitting by the maples about to turn red, was fun.
This is Old Kingston Rd., with such beautiful trees. You can imagine it as a horse and wagon path, eventually widened in the 1800s.

We travelled down a dead end, just for fun. You can see someone sitting quietly in his sun room. It looks so peaceful.

Then there is the art! I had to describe it to JB. 

The bright colours are dazzling.





                                

Upon arriving home, there was news, on Social Media, of a road closure. Galbraith Rd., off Wolfe Grove Rd., was closed as someone drove into a tree. We were happy to be home and safe. One person is dead, another in hospital. It is tragic. There are too many unnecessary incidents. 🚓LANARK COLLISIONS


Poor 😿Nutmeg is off to the vet today. She's still not eating, and slept all day yesterday. We think she ate something that disagreed with her, aside from the vet food we buy. 😖She's had Laxatone, which helps dissolve stuff and aids digestion, but she'll likely have an ultrasound at the vet's this afternoon. The last time this happened, May 2nd, it was $350.  She had undigested bones in her digestive system. JB said, "Some people go for cruises on the Rhine..." Ah, he loves her and his walks with her!

I like living at the end of the dead end road, most of the time.

Our trip to Tweed was just because. There was no special reason other than to meetup.

Hoping for the best for your Nutmeg! Vet visits are so expensive. Even a regular check up for my cat runs a hundred dollars at least. I love the fall colors, although we get few around here and predominantly yellow. We stay mostly green. :)

Take care, enjoy your day!

Jenn - I had the opportunity yesterday to join a group of ladies for a hike, and we spent most of the day oohing and aahing over the fall colors! Sorry to hear about Nutmeg - hope you find a solution and it is not too expensive!
