Well we bit the bullet and hit the Home Depot to talk to the seasonal guys about snow blowers. We came away with an advanced order for an Ariens 1130DLE at a total cost of $1524.37  .... I liked shovelling but if I am away this winter I need to know the girls can dig themselves out and the snow blower had it's own headlight  The long range forecast is predicting another snowy winter.

Below are several photos of the maple tree in our back garden (by me)and some fungi photos taken by Gemma.

This summer has been pretty damp so fungi seemed to be growing on every fallen tree, here are a collection of photo's taken by Gemma on one walk about Mactaquac Park (Beaver Trail).

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving day and we are sharing a Turkey Dinner with two other families. Then on Tuesday I am flying to Halifax to prepare to present a project proposal to Nova Scotia Dept of Health. If we win then I will be flying backwards and forwards between Fredericton and Halifax leaving Monday coming home on Friday on a little Beechcraft aeroplane. I flew on one the other month and took a photo down the plane during the flight. If you haven't flown in a small aircraft before I thought you might find it interesting.
