We have had a glorious few days with the temperatures up in the high 20's and even low 30's.  But on the weathernetwork (a whole channel devoted to weather reporting) they mentioned the S word for some parts of Northern Canada on Wednesday 12th Sept..... Time to clean off the shovels and get some practice in.

Gemma is back in high school (she will graduate next June) and Kathryn is studying Biology and Chemistry at UNB (still trying to get into the science degree program) and working part time at Sears. Anyway they are both busy and reasonably happy.... which makes for a reasonably happy Dad.

On Sunday afternoon we walked along a remote beach on the Mactaquac headpond (lake) and saw footprints from Moose, Deer, Coyote, Racoon and Otter. We found a baby snapping turtle too.

A very back to nature day for the whole family, I cannot imagine us all walking about together in the UK where my 20 and 17 year old daughters would have been doing something completely seperate from Julie and I.

Already some Maple trees are turning a beautiful red!	I will take some more later in September so you can see the beauty of Fall in NB
