Ahhh...The Cottage Life!

I have been sad as I missed getting up to the cottage for all the gorgeous fall colours but there is some beautiful colour happening all around my town as well. I stopped in  at a local very old small cemetery that has a fantastic view of a valley and the Town of Glen Williams.
 This cross was at the very edge of the property where the fence had been broken down for many years and a well worn path led up to it.

Went on a tour of Italy this summer by car from the Netherlands. My good friend did all the driving this time. A little touchy for me to drive in Italy but we paced ourselves so it was a lot of resting and site seeing in between drives.
First through the mountains in Switzerland...

I went to see the David Suzuki's  Blue Dot Tour in Kitchener Ontario a couple of nights ago.The Blue Dot Tour is a movement to recognize every Canadian's right to live in a healthy environment. The right to clean water, fresh air, healthy food and a say in decisions that affect us. As spoken by David Suzuki him self:
"What's more important than the right to breathe fresh air, drink clean water and eat healthy food?"

 The Blue Dot Tour, a cross country celebration featuring David Suzuki and a star-studded line up of Canadian performers, artists and leaders. The guests this night were:
Special guests:

• Danny Michel
• Jeremy Fisher
• Edward Burtynsky
• Joe MacInnis
• Shane Koyczan
• Whitehorse

When seven out of 10 provinces representing more than 50 per cent of the Canadian population have recognized our right to a healthy environment we turn toward the ultimate goal: amending the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

If you haven't already, go to the Blue Dot Tour site. Read a bout the plan and sign up to support the action!!

A great Canadian duo White Horse played a couple of songs as well. Wonderful on the guitar and voices were amazing.

Time to take a stand Canada! Time to ensure we have a say in our land and the decisions being made for it. Time to make our politicians listen and time to demand our right to a healthy environment!
