Some would describe the weekend weather as large in the big land. For me it was just a beautiful fall weekend for walking in the hills and picking some red berries.

Scarce and small as they are it is just too tempting not bend the knees and back and bring some of the juicy sour morsels home. OK, the truth is that Fran insisted that she pick berries, so in it would not have looked right if three blokes were standing around jawing while a lady did all the work.
Both days we had the company of two St.John’s ittes, one was a champion berry picker for sure who, if had not been along, the pickings would have been very poor. I made up four jars of jam and we had pancakes with red berries for breakfast yesterday.

One interesting bit of information was garnered from the townies; Sunday’s weather of 6, sunny with a nice cooling breeze is more likely to happen in mid November in St. John’s.
So we are about 6 weeks ahead, or behind depending on you view.

So after the weekend this morning’s weather is a bit of a let down.

The Media Center [OK Society] is slowerly but surely being vandalized and being picked to bits on the outside. Kids are constantly playing around the building and getting up to no good. Not all do the vandalizing but enough do so that it is taking its toll.
Over the weekend someone spry painted black paint over the lens’s of two of the surveillance cameras [over the windows where the cameras were located]. Not sure what skullduggery they got up to after that if any.

I bet that jam tastes really good!
Too bad you have vandals there too.... they seem to be everywhere. No respect for any kind of authority, property, decency etc etc.
