Sunrises this time of year are dramatic and different every day. But the lower angle of the sun means all the reds come out for their last show of the season. Which one of these shouldn't be in your bouquet??
Things get a little scary these days, too. The pond has to be cleared out and the muck at the bottom is creepy. Frogs wonder what happened to their water level. Snakes crash the frog party. And over in Meaford the scarecrows do their annual invasion. The theme this year is Sports-Scares. Lots of stuffed hockey players and tennis skirts --- even jalopy racing is a sport to get stuffed!
The blues fill in the gaps between the clouds. Sometimes it looks like the angels are offering wisps of cotton candy in the sky.
And the white?? You can see it coming on the horizon, and then BAM! the first snowfall of the season. Red car, red leaves --- they all get frosted. Indoors, the leftover turkey ends up in a yummy pie (white is the pie crust, OK?!). (That makes 4 pies in 48 hours --- apple, pumpkin, turkey, and pizza!)
In Canada, what's red, white, blue and scary all at once going into Oct. 19? An election, more snow, and the Blue Jays are down 2 games to none in the Championship Series. Go Canada, or Oh Canada?
UPDATE 4 HOURS LATER:
Just after the first posting, a much heavier blizzard hit the hill. It's about 6" of wet snow at the moment (noonish) and still falling. We had a birthday in the family to host but it has been cancelled because nobody can get up the hill or down!! Maybe next weekend?? in the meantime, it's a winter wonderland...
