Fall Colour

Here is some local fall colour for you today, I took this photo last week.  Everyone is now gathering all their leaves and cleaning up their lawns.


I was at the gym the other day and ran into a lady I hadn't seen in awhile. She has knee problems, she showed me how swollen one of them are and told me she has to wait 2 and a half years for knee surgery. She has already waited 6 months.  This made me think of an aunt who kept postponing her knee surgery.  It turns out she died of a heart condition and never got it done.  Such is life.

Lovely photo! Can feel for that lady with the knee problems, my right knee will be needing surgery soon, probably the beginning of next year! Hugs, Valerie

You must have some beautiful fall colours in Canada. We've got a fair bit in the UK. We're having very warm weather and it's brought winds the last couple of days. The leaves are coming down now.

So if you postpone your surgery long enough, you won't have to get it?!

That's terrible. David had to wait 6 months for his knee surgery. His doctor is excellent so he is in demand.
