Take A Hike - And I Mean That In The Nicest Way

Fall is in full swing (bloom) in Oakville. Most of the colours have peaked. The gusty winds have turned green lawns to yellow, red and orange as the leaves come tumbling down. Our days are getting shorter. Next weekend we set our clocks back. Remember spring ahead - fall back. Yes, you get an extra hour of sleep.

But what a pain having to change every clock in the house, on the stove, the microwave, the radios, the cars, your watches. Luckily our computers, Blackberries, etc. are very smart and they do it automatically. Don't forget to change the batteries in the smoke detector. Many are now hardwired so this ritual may soon become a chore of the past.

This is a great time of year to discover ravines and trails in Halton Region. Check out the Conservation Halton website for a list of local Conservation Areas. With Halloween just around the corner a great source of information for local pumpkin patches, hay rides and corn mazes in the Oakville and Greater Toronto Area is Pumpkin Patches And More. This site also has great pumpkin recipes and tips on how to carve and decorate a pumpkin. The site also gives pumpkin patch locations for all areas of Canada and the United States.

Go out and have some fun this fall.
