		| | Don't wait too long peeps, the leaves are already changing colour here and it seems a bit faster than usual. By late Oct there won't be many leaves left on trees. Or does it all happen later in the Ottawa region? You are a wee bit more south than I am, something like 4 feet I think. ;\ |

 That's weird, cause here in Kemptville area trees are still mostly green.  Maybe cause I'm roughly 45 km south of Ottawa, we're always about 2-4 degrees warmer than Ottawa.
 
 We could always relocate it out here, some of you could carpool to save on gas :-)  And my property has tons of sugar maples on it (well OK only 9 but they're big suckers) and they have barely begun to drop their leaves.
 
 Saturday 11th out for me as I have a seminar to attend from 10-2.  Any other weekend works.
 
 Leenie, of course your new dpc buddy welcome to join us!

		| | I just got back from my 10km bike ride and collected a bag full of red, yellow and brownish leaves for some stock photos I want to shoot later on today. Trees are mostly green here too but some are almost void of leaves, I find that weird, or I just never noticed previously that they lost their leaves early. 
 How about the 18th?
