So the end of my September found me spending not doing just one thing I love, but all three. Fishing, Farm time, & Rodeo. I wrote about the Kamsack Rodeo in my last post, and now I get to write about the other two here. I will start with my time down at Theodore Reservoir. I was down on there celebrating World Rivers Day by participating in a Great Canadian Shoreline Clean up Event put on by the Assiniboine Watershed Stewards. It was a beautiful September Sunday, and the day was a success. I only spent a few hours doing the clean up, and then hopped out early to do some fishing, along with go to the farm. However, with the great weather and good amount of people that showed up from what I saw the day was a great success. The reservoir itself looked like the perfect fall scene with all the fishermen along the shoreline, and all the changing leaf colors. I had lots of fun scampering along the rocks picking garbage, and stopping to capture the beauty of the fall colors. I happened to manage to find a woolly bear larva , and was able to deduce from the band & lack of spikes that our winter prediction is that we won't have much snow, and it should be a milder winter [hopefully this is correct]. It was a beautiful afternoon that I couldn't have asked for anything better. After I was done with the garbage I moved on to some fishing, and even caught myself a Northern Pike [but I let him go instead of having him for supper]. It was a perfect September afternoon. The farm looked amazing decorated in it's fall gold. It gave a beautiful "sparkle" to the yard, and surrounding fields. It, like the reservoir, looked like a perfect fall scene. I was so happy to be out there to experience it. I tried my best to capture the fall gold leaves out their true glory. Along, with spending time doing that I spent some time with my beautiful kittens that went from being garage kitty's to full on full-time farm kitties. They adapted to the change so well, and were ripping around the yard with all the full excitement that only cute kitty's can have. It was a very relaxing way to end the month, and brought much happiness to me. Then the day could not have been more perfect, Mother Nature gave me the most amazing sunset I could have asked for to end that perfect last Sunday in September. The colors were amazing, and I was very happy to be fortunate enough to be able to experience it. Rural life has so much overlooked beauty that it makes me so happy to be able to share the moments when life, and Mother Nature, line up just right.
