We don’t typically walk the dog at the farm on a Monday or Tuesday evening because the children have so much going on it’s too rushed to get down here, and get back to town to chauffeur the girls around. But another parent was taking my eldest to her Guiding event so I was able to meet up with my wife’s uncle and their German Shephard/Husky mix to run the dogs for thirty or forty minutes. It may have been a balmy day but once the old sun set it got pretty chilly. The wind was picking up too which only made it feel colder. The dogs seemed to enjoy themselves, so it must have been worth the effort. I still wound up having to pick ticks off of myself once I got home. I jumped through the shower to make sure I could check absolutely everywhere. All good. I do love these autumn sunsets and all the extra colours. From orange to pink, blues and nearly purple it’s quite the sight in person. The photo hardly does the evening sky any justice. Just before the sun sank behind the horizon about a thousand geese flew over making one hell of a racket. Bird apocalypse coming from above! They’ve been feasting on loose corn and old soya beans then flying about a block south to a giant water run off collection point slash pond to swim, drink and rest before moving on southward. It’s a real vision when the pond is full of geese, swans and ducks, and the occasional seagull. If they ever made a proper park out of it with seating it would be an ornithologists dream. Tad close to the 407, but you can’t have everything, right?
