If you are a regular visitor to this blog, you may remember Grant Peter from two weeks ago, out riding around King City, with his son Todd, and Todd's dog Lilo in Grant's rear basket.   The photo I took back then inexplicably did not show Lilo in all her beauty.   I caught up to Grant and Lilo again this past Thursday and took another picture with Lilo staring me in the eye.   Just in case you're wondering, Lilo is on a leash in the basket and secure.

Haikus for October

I have tasted fall

It is a warm cup of tea

Too quickly it cools

Bonfires of colour

Autumn leaves have but one sound

Soft cries of farewell

Treasure these fall days

They are a gift of the gods

Ere they rant and roar

First there was orange, then pink, now white

The white 'Ghost' pumpkins, pictured above, were on sale today at the Oak Ridges Food Market (Maple Grove and Yonge Street) in North Richmond Hill.

Pink pumpkins were discovered accidentally in the United States but quickly became a symbol and promotional item for breast cancer awareness in America.   Pink pumpkins are now available in Canada at selected stores in the Loblaws family of food stores.

Traditional orange pumpkins are pictured in the above photograph which was taken last year on the 10th Concession of King Township, west of Nobleton.

Another equestrian centre for King

Valhalla Equestrian Centre

I like to think I get around King pretty well and know what's going on...more or less.   But the place above completely took me by surprise.   I go up and down Jane Street fairly regularly, but I didn't notice what you see above until today.   Three huge barns seemed to have popped up overnight.   The sign at the entrance says Valhalla Equestrian Centre and that it is being built by Dutch Masters Design & Construction Services Ltd., a company in Barrie which states that it is the only exclusive builder of horse barns and facilities in Ontario.   Meanwhile, if one goes online, one will come across a Valhalla Equestrian Centre in South Carolina.   I presume there is a connection.   We shall see.
