Today in 2022, we turned on the furnace, and if you look at the temperatures inside the red (below), you may understand why we might be succumbing soon this year. (Note: the first day in the image was yesterday. Also note: temps are Fahrenheit to make it easy for our American friends as most Canadians, at least those of a certain vintage, can work both systems.)
It's not zactly balmy, eh? Especially this coming Saturday. Sheesh!
Sue completed and submitted the fourth of her seasonal photos of 2026. They are all taken looking downriver along the Mississippi from the downtown bridge with a larger copy of the recent autumn photo included. She is already thinking about next year's location, which may be from the far bridge that you see in the distance below.
Meanwhile, we did take Jakedog for a little walk on the bridge trail. The day was overcast, but the colour was still worth a look, and Jakey loved that trail.
I think Jake is having the time of his life! Lovely fall colors, and that's a great image of Sue and dog strolling along.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have great scenics along those walks and Jake is proving a good reason to get out, but then you never need a “reason” to enjoy them. Yes, a nice image of Sue and Jake.

ReplyDeleteI'll say you've still got color. I like the river shots.
ReplyDeleteThe fur babies give some of us retired folks a reason to get out of bed at a reasonable time. 😁
ReplyDeleteC'mon, admit it. You are falling for Jake.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like he's made himself at home and like most pets made you his servants. :) Love the four season shot!
ReplyDeleteGreat fall photos, the one of Sue walking away with Jake just seems so continental to me. Whatever that means.
ReplyDeleteJake is having a nice holiday.
ReplyDeleteI haven't succumbed to the temptation yet, but I know the next handful of days will be cool enough it will be light jacket weather inside.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! You are being a good friend to Jake.
ReplyDeleteSix weeks to go!
ReplyDeleteWe've had heat on for days. I open the front door when it is sunny and use passive heating.
I keep getting mad at Joe for using F. instead of C.! He's never get it if he doesn't use it!
Your lap. Were you the guy who said "I'm not really a dog person..."! But how could you resist that cutie! I hear you on the heat. We're supposed to drop below freezing tomorrow night. I'm contemplating. Sue's series is terrific!
ReplyDeleteBrrrr! In other news, our heatwave is back 🥵
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, John! I love all animals even though I am more accustomed to cats.
ReplyDeleteHow about some lights where Jake travels so you can stay in. I love my battery powered motion detector lights I mounted just above the windows so I can see coming and going on my sidewalk into my place. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteYes, that's cold! We haven't turned our heating on yet. It's been surprisingly warm and got up to 85 degs. F. Today only 74. I'm sure it is lulling us into a false sense of security. I loved all the photos and Sue did a grand job of her seasons. Pretty arrangement too. I'm not surprised Jakey loved that trail.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that Jake is comfortable enough with you now to woof you awake. The photos are marvellous. You don't even get to 60 (16C) degrees?? Our overnights have been around 55 (13C) lately and that's too cold for me, I have the heater on while I watch the news at 6pm. Our days are warming up though, with today supposedly getting as high as 73 (23C), but that's outside and inside my flat is chilly enough to wear layers.
ReplyDeleteHow bizarre because we've had heavy frost all week but tomorrow? 18 degrees!
ReplyDeleteOh how I’m missing the Fall colours this year. Your photos are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHere’s hoping you don’t have to succumb to turning on the furnace just yet.
Gorgeous pictures of the flat-as-glass water!
