August feels like October!

The past few weeks have shot by and the end of summer is quickly approaching!
My Parents have come for a brief two night visit and gone. Matt and I packed for a week of camping at the Haliburton Scout Reserve - yikes the forecast says overnight lows of 6 degrees... sure glad we have our cozy MEC mummy style sleeping bags.... oh so cozy. Still swimming but the river is much cooler than it was in July. We spent the day yesterday at our friend Paul's cottage where we swam, Matt got to go tubing and we shared a fine dinner before driving home after dusk! 
Today we went and found two Geocaches in Gelert - one in the cemetery and the other by the Burnt River! 2 for 2 is pretty good for us!
I have also accomplished some work around the house adding trim to the inside of the front door and the living room! 

We have seen a few more of our wild neighbours.... two bucks at the side of the road near Apsley were very patient subjects! 

We have had some regular visits from the local Turkey family! And this Turkey sure knows how to strut its stuff!
 
I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers.... but I am glad I got to keep a shed tail feather!

Some very fine local mushrooms from the Farmers Market in Kinmount made a few great stir fries!
