How quickly the seasons change. The sun is setting about 4 minutes earlier each night as we sink deeper in to autumn with each passing day. Often our fields are cloaked in a gentle foggy mist upon arising each morning. There is a slight chill in the air when we draw the day to a close, pull the curtains and tuck in for the night. Eddie, our unicyclist, was quite indignant to find himself covered in cobwebs and dripping with dew on a recent September morn.

One of the highlights of the fall season in Renfrew County and the Ottawa Valley is the annual Rural Ramble through the Ottawa Valley. This year is the 15th anniversary for this event, which is being held this weekend, September 26 & 27, 2009, from 10:00 a.mm to 4:00 p.m.
