This past weekend, we visited old friends in Edmonton. Before returning to Calgary, we spent some time walking in the Emily Murphy Park. At first, we could not find the road that led into the park, so we flagged down a car and asked for help. A friendly Edmontonian not only gave us directions but led us to the park entrance!

We are having a most enjoyable autumn this year. Usually there is snow by now. But, this year, the days are warm, the trees are holding on to their leaves, and the season is extended!
