Since we've been having gorgeous fall weather....we loaded Liesel in the SUV & headed out to walk one of our favourite trails! The trails (called the Confederation Trail) run from tip to tip on the Island....and were at one time tracks for the railway! The trains, many years ago...were an important mode of transportation for Islanders....coming here as a child, on vacation with my family....I remember when the trains were here.
As roads were built & more & more vehicles became a staple....the railway system was phased out. Thus the Confederation Trail was birthed! Used daily for walkers, bicyclists, and in the winter there is a very responsible snowmobile club that maintains & uses the trails for outdoor activities & fun!
We enjoy the beautiful fall colours on the trails, as the leaves turn...however we were a bit early to enjoy them this year....they have just begun to turn....
These photos were taken last year....but later in October! Took my breath away when I saw them...stunning right??
We enjoy walking on the various sections of the trail....and no prettier time than fall to do so! The weather is turning a bit cooler...the next couple of weeks the trees will share their magnificent colours...
There are rest stops and picnic areas along the trails....we stopped here to allow Liesel to have a cold drink...she loves running on the trail...
A bit of a health update...after having an ECG the other day & an appointment afterwards with my heart doctor...my heart is still "not doing great". The ECG results were better than the previous one done in July...but still "not great". I will be undergoing a test where they inject dye (via arm) and scan the heart to determine what is going on! The doctor stated, "you are a mystery....so thanks for that". Well....I do try.
A dear friend commented "you must be so scared". I don't live my life in fear...but choose to live each day & not dwell on the "what ifs". That serves no purpose....there are just some things we cannot control....
Moving forward. I dropped into Inspired Living & picked up a life like cedar garland (for the mantle)....however the 6 ft length I purchased is too short! I plan to do an exchange today for a longer piece....and be warned...they are getting fully stocked with awesome Christmas decor! Oh my!
October is my favourite month! As Mr. Seventies & I celebrate our upcoming 41st wedding anniversary, we have an outdoor photo session booked with a sweet photographer...
We celebrate Thanksgiving this weekend & spending it with extended family in Nova Scotia...I hope you have a wonderful one as well!
Til next time.....
