I usually don’t struggle with the process. Thanks for the praise, given that I am certain that your fall colours are equally, if not more, attractive.

Mackdogmolly Posted October 18, 2022 #1179 Share Posted October 18, 2022 And this is just for interest, not for fall color. An art installation, called Whales Tails, just off Interstate 89 in Randolph, VT, about 50 miles south of Burlington. There is another one, also visible from the interstate, in Williston, VT, about 10 miles south. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom47 Posted October 18, 2022 #1184 Share Posted October 18, 2022 DW and I have recently started reading another Canadian mystery series, set in 1946 rural British Columbia.

Mackdogmolly Posted November 12, 2022 #1187 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Stick season here in Vermont. Still unseasonably mild, with temperatures in the 60s f lately. Put the vegetable garden to bed for the winter today though - enough is enough! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the vegetable garden to bed for the winter today though - enough is enough! in our region, “stick season” lasts all winter and its extent and impact can be clearly identified when the snow melts, I just put out our second shift of yard waste bags (20) and have 3 bags left for final pickup. I have convinced my wife that leaving the leaves where they fall, and making a half-hearted attempt to mulch them, is the more sustainable practice for our planet. Unfortunately, as the winds rise, the arrival of our leaves on neighbouring lawn might exacerbate some negative thoughts up and down our street. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted November 13, 2022 #1189 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Three neighbors have cut down or trimmed large trees surrounding us this year, and as a result our yard is staying almost leaf-free! I have never removed leaves from the flower beds, as I think they serve as a good mulch over the winter [and by spring they are no longer apparent!] But since my lawn stays green past Thanksgiving, it's nice to be able to enjoy its verdant luster with no work involved! [This will also save money on gutter cleaning services...] 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always impressed by the Humber River and that magnificent bridge. Those views certainly make for an impactful walk. Some day I hope we can see it in person. Couldn’t an Azamara ship make its way at least up to the bridge? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure about that but probably not, the Ferries to Europe dock in the Humber River but closer the sea at Hull. It had been planned to build a cruise terminal in Hull but that seems to have been forgotten for now. Some cargo ships do go up river under the Bridge to Goole a port 40 miles further inland.

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping. From a selfish point of view, it is unfortunate that there seems to be little enthusiasm for a cruise port at Hull that would allow relatively easy access to interesting sights.

The previous administration was looking at this, but the new local council (Liberal Democrat instead of Labour) are less keen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, for the next few year, regardless of party there may not be much in the Budget for creating a new cruise port. It just seems strange that there are virtually no choices in your area. Is the nearest the Port of Tyne? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for yet more atmospherically enticing photos of your river walks. I know nothing of Yorkshire. Well, there was once a white rose and a red rose, and all those Shakespeare plays "once more unto the breach, dear friends..." But anyway - the images you've posted here are really wonderful. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nordski Posted December 24, 2022 #1200 Share Posted December 24, 2022 We’d like to echo Mackdodmolly’s wishes for all on this forum. We are still on a blizzard warning here, so the fireplace will definitely come into play if the power goes out. Although, at this point, Québec has more outages than Ontario. She didn’t share what music plays in the background. Here it is Sarah McLachlan’s “The Classic Christmas Album”. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
