Ah, autumn in Alberta

Remember a week and a half or so ago when the temperature was in the mid thirties Celsius? Yeah, I'm not entirely sure that I do either.

I hope everyone's enjoying the snowfall.

Oh, and just a reminder to be careful out on the Sanctuary trails for the next little while. Last night's winds probably took down a few trees. If you happen to notice any that are a danger, please give us a call at 403-346-2010.

Yesterday, it was a beautiful 29 degrees (Celsius) here in Red Deer. The sun was shining, the geese were honking, and me, being the plan-ahead person that I am, was wearing a sweater. (I thought cotton would breathe a little...). Last night, as I wrapped up my day in the same sweater that I started out in, it occurred to me that this occasion called for a blog entry. So here it is:

DON'T BE SILLY LIKE ME AND WEAR A SWEATER (even a thin one) ON A 29 DEGREE DAY!

Actually, the point of this entry is to remind you that we are having very nice fall weather...get out and enjoy it while you can! The geese are flocking, the leaves are turning, the sky is that gorgeous blue (well, not today), and that wonderful, crisp smell is in the air. Get out and enjoy fall for what it is, before the snow comes and we get locked in our houses by 40 below.

(Did I mention you should get out and enjoy the weather?)

And watch out for garter snakes...they're going to be heading to a hibernaculum soon.
Happy trails!
