It started out as a busy week with my work schedule consuming four days out of the seven. It is just work, work, work this week but we had plans for a quad ride on Saturday.
The weather has been chilly and the leaves are turning beautifully. There is an array of color in our forests and a quad ride during this time is nothing less than incredible. It makes one feel so very blessed to have the opportunity to witness this changing season.
Dave and Shirley, Arlene and Gary and John and I set out for "The Block" around noon. Soon, we were down by Deer Lake and surrounded by the splendor of the forest. It was a beautiful day and we really could not have asked for anything better. We headed along the lake towards "five corners" and eventually to the far end of Otter Lake. Of course John would not be happy unless he actually managed to get my ass wet!! We ended up on our side (the passenger side of course) in a rather large mud puddle. We needed the winch to get us up and out of the mess but definitely not before my ass got wet and one foot!! Holy Buckets Batman!! Good thing it was good weather and not cold!!
The ride was enjoyed by all and hopefully we will be able to get one more ride in before we pack up and leave for the winter season.
I managed to get another batch of relish done this week as well and that was a good thing. I am now completely done with all the canning that I intend to do. John will be taking the lawnmower to anything that is still standing and then I will get it rototilled and ready for another year once the potatoes are dug and stored away.
All in all, it has been another busy, full week. Man, it will be nice to finally get in the truck and finally just settle down for the trip south. Life is good.
