Little Tract

There's a maze of looped trails throughout the Little Tract, a Wellington County forest on Road 34 between Road 32 and 35.
Summers see a lot of bikes and horses as well as people. These days it's great for cross country skiing if you don't mind a few minor hills.

Fergus has a Grand River

We went walking in Elora and Fergus on Sunday.
S needed a couple of thermometers for her classroom so on the way home we decided to try the new Wal-Mart in Guelph. Our only other visit to Wal-Mart was a couple of years ago in Kitchener which left me with the impression that it was an inflated Zellers. So, anyway, after much trudging and enquiring we got a thermometer for about 5 bucks - then decided to go to the Canadian Tire across the street to check there as well.
Turned out that Canadian Tire had the exact same thermometer - for a buck cheaper! Don't think we'll be doing much Wal-Marting. Not till we're older anyway - I was impressed with the motorized wheelchairs there.

going to market jigitty jig

We went to the farmer's market early this morning, just before sunrise. Bustling through the cold.

the olden days

Three years ago today folks were clearing off the Speed River by the River Run Centre for some skating.

the freeze begins

How long will it last? Last year we had snow drops and crocuses (crocii?) poking up in mid March. Could be a short winter.

Rockwood C.A.

first snow

OK well not really the first snow - we actually had our first snow three months ago in mid October - but this is the first snow that is not going to melt in a couple of days. Fingers crossed.

We finally got a bit of snow that stayed on the ground overnight so we went out to Rockwood C.A. for a walkabout. This was the most beautiful thing I saw there.

weathered limbs

There were a few cyclists out along the GORBA trail today but it was hard slogging - the ground isn't frozen yet and the mud holes plentiful.

Guelph Lake

Early morning at Guelph Lake dam. Usually the lake would be covered in ice and snow at this time of year. Seems strange and somewhat forboding. Noticed a humourous sign posted on the earthen bulwark "Keep off the dam slope".

You can see a video of the demolition of the old Memorial Gardens as well as a webcam of current construction of the new city hall online.

Preservation Food

At first we noticed some cabbage - didn't think too much about it - but then, in the forest, a regular cornucopia of vegetables seemed to have been spread beside the trail. I guess someone is feeding the deer.
My favourite is the mushroom - just thinking how a mushroom just like this one was taken from a forest like this one then grown and harvested on a farm (where?), then cleaned packed shipped and shipped some more - then brought home, unwrapped and taken down to this trail to feed the deer.
