Hogan chilling by the fire 

This is our view into the neighbours back door.  

Colour along the East Road

It is a busy week for me coming up as I work four out of seven days so we did take to opportunity to head out onto the trails and enjoy the changing of the seasons.  Fall is definitely in the air as there is now a crispness to the early morning and late evening air.
We were hoping to get out onto the trails with Dave and Shirley, Gary and Arlene and ourselves. Unfortunately, Dave was not feeling well so it was just the four of us on this outing.  Arlene is scheduled to head back home to Winnipeg in a few days so this will be our last trip to the trails with her.
We decided to take Three Mile Trail today and make a stop at the shelter, head down to Bear Lake, over to Otter Lake and then hit Vimy Lake before heading home.  It will be an awesome ride and with the trees displaying all their color, well, it will be a camera buff's dream!!  Sooo much to see and sooo many pictures to take!!
The day was absolutely gorgeous with the sun shining through the clouds and the smell of the leaves on the trail.  Autumn is definitely in the air.
It was a great day, spent with a couple of good people.  We had our last refreshment break for the day at 8 mile and were joined by Dave and Shirley.  He was feeling better and decided they needed to go for a ride as well so we all met up at 8 mile.   Life is good.

End of the day

Settled around the campfire

As usual, it is always nice to get home and to be settled around the campfire.  It was a great day and now I have some work days ahead so will rest up then get them done.
It is time to start packing the camper and once my shifts are over, I will concentrate on getting that done.  Until then....Life is good!!
