THERE IS MAGIC IN THE NIGHT SKY AND IT IS MY FAVORITE PLACE

 A FEW EARLY AUTUMN COLORS AT THE SOUTH END OF OUR PARK THIS MORNING

Decided to forego my morning walk and get right at my clean-up outside by the road.  Hooked up the utility trailer and proceeded to pick up half a dozen piles of branches, and pine needles, etc. that I had raked up on Wednesday afternoon. It took me two trips to the Park's recycling area to get everything unloaded.  It felt good to be outside in this cooler September weather, getting some much-needed exercise.  Following that, I had a bunch of new grass to water, and somewhere in there, I managed to fit in a morning and afternoon coffee break.

 MY FIRST LOAD THIS MORNING TO THE PARK'S RECYCLE AREA

Another fine evening, Wednesday, when I followed my rural walk with a drive to Clinton to snag myself a drive-thru Tim Hortons coffee.  As darkness set in, I slowly made my roundabout way to Tower Hill for a look at the night sky.  Despite a partial cloud cover, I was able to see the constellation Scorpius, the Scorpion, Sagittarius, the big tilted teapot, and Cassiopeia, the big 'W' in the northeast night sky.  Also saw two aircraft and three satellites.  And, all the time being hosted by a surrounding chorus of Crickets.  There is magic in the night sky, and it is my favorite place.

I SENT A COUPLE OF SMARTPHONE SUNSET PICS TO LORRAINE IN STRATFORD

Woodsy (Lorraine) rolled in this afternoon about 3:45, carrying a big pizza, all the way from Stratford. It's been a long time since I've eaten pizza, and it was a very much most pleasant surprise.

A FEW QUICK PICS AROUND OUR FRONT YARD THIS AFTERNOON
