Holding On To Summer!

in Actifit27 days ago

Today was my weekly big step day as work takes me through the streets of this small town. I don’t give summer up without a fight and sunny & 24 sure helps the cause.

There were signs of fall mind you. Chrysanthemums (aka mums!) are out at all the flower stores. Such a nice splash of colour and food for those late season pollinators.

Pumpkins out early for the season and @moeenali thinks these are rather expensive. Definitely less expensive ones around these parts where the localfarmers often grow them.

Visiting this funny old truck on the side of a country road, more signs as the soy beans are turning yellow and the tree to the right of him is showing some colour.

Back closer to town, this country home is basking in the warm sunshine and deep blue skies.

The library and court house enjoying a warm summery day downtown.

Down by our office, patios are still open and trees are still green as can be.

My weekly shot from the steps of city hall still with plenty of short sleeves and not even breeze enough to stir the flag on the pole. Surely nothing could compete with this summer vibe!


Except snow?!?! Your eyes do deceive you a little as they are shooting a hallmark Christmas movie downtown and the fake snow is pretty convincing at first glance.

They have holiday huts set up in market square as part of the set and a couple roads blocks off for the production

equipment.

10 k steps wouldn’t be a complete day without a trip to Dogwars with the little guy. A good run along the trails as he found another one who likes to sprint and wrestle at high speed.

Looking at the forecast for the next while, looks like I will have plenty more chances at summery days!

Might as well celebrate with a beautiful beer from Quebec! Nice and sideways because actifit likes to confuse pictures on the iPhone!

Until recently, our provinces had tariffs on certain things between provinces. How stupid is that? Good to see more beers from across Canada on the shelves.

Cheers to fighting to extend summer with 10k steps!

I thought the snow was real initially as well. I was thinking "where the hell does this guy live?" lol

I like the look of this town. seems so peaceful and quaint

Haha ya. Until I looked down the sidewalk and a little WTF moment, I had forgotten they were filming the movie downtown. There have been frost warnings up north last week so I bet there could have been a dusting of snow. Down here, we won't get our initial snow til November and it won't stick on the ground til close to Christmas.

That's lookin alright too!

The fake snow got me too.. but he's in Canada so it is possible

Hi friend @zekepickleman!
It's nice to see beautiful photos of your autumn. It's a little sad that summer is passing. But autumn is the most wonderful time. Drinking a beer, enjoying the gentle warmth of autumn - it's really wonderful!

Yes! Looking at that forecast, you will see I am not even admitting autumn for another couple weeks!

Apparently, autumn won't be able to convince you! 🤔 I guess you're closer to winter, right? But still, every season has its own beauties, maybe after a while you will enjoy autumn too @zekepickleman

I feel you about holding on to summer tho, not ready for the cold yet. Also 10k steps with the pup sounds like the best way to spend the day.

September and parts of October seem like bonus summer! I will probably get 10k when it is -10 with the dog.

sunny & 24 sure helps the cause

You misspelled 420...

Today in fake news...

Snow in Stratford
