Silly? Silly?! Oh no, dull, dull, and dull… What’s going on? Have you had a vocabulary breakdown, OldPlaidCamper? Silly? Ugh… is silly the new dreary? It’s not a word I use very often – most likely because I’m distantly acquainted with one or two people I’m not overly fond of who do use it (they’d probably say I’m silly if they were being kind, although kindness isn’t really one of their strengths…) Anyway, why silly? What prompted this silliness? Why, because I couldn’t resist this beer:
We’ve certainly found the weather a bit silly throughout September, in that it was way above seasonal almost every day. Trips along the river and to nearby parks have been pleasant enough, and the planted gardens have certainly held on longer – perhaps due to the silly weather?
In just the last few days we’ve seen more of a fall arrival, and most definitely on our quick trip earlier this week to see friends in Canmore. The cool fall temperatures were a relief, and the dashes of colourful larches on the slopes were very pretty. A deciduous conifer? Is that a bit silly? Not at all!
We’re off to K country for a few days of quiet camping – no cell coverage or wifi, some beer, some short hikes, a few good books, and maybe spotting a bear or two in the distance. Not too silly…
Thanks for reading – I’ll aim for a wider vocabulary next time – and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Ah, the wonderful season of mist of silliness, portrayed in that superb Canadian panorama we’d do well to toast to through the year. Great job, Adam.

Cheers, Walt! All that heat disappeared on us out in the mountains the past few days – we enjoyed a sneak preview of winter, with a light overnight dusting of snow. Kept our beers cool…
I hope all is well with you, at least in your own sphere, if not more widely down there. Silly barely begins to describe it – stay well!

Beautiful photos this week!! Hopefully it is our last day in the 80s today. Between the hot weather and drought I’m not sure how colorful October is going to be around here. Hope you had another great camping trip and found the time to see Grealish score!🙂

Thank you! We went from late summer right through fall and into winter, all in one day. Yup, enjoyed some overnight snow in the mountains! I guess it is October after all…
Caught up with the game late yesterday – I think Grealish knew what he was doing! Very fortunate win, so no complaints (until next time…)
I hope you’re doing better, and that the hockey gods smile on your teams – except when they play the Flames!

So gorgeous, your scenery, breathtaking. Thank you, PC. I like the word “silly” but don’t use it much. I’m going to use it more now. I have a sister whose name is Sally and when we were young we called her silly Sally and she is silly a lot even now. Cheers, my friend, to silly beer, silly times and beautiful times.

I reckon you and Sally might have got into some silly scrapes in the past?! That’s what siblings are for! My mother still doesn’t know half of the truth about certain escapades that cannot be retold for at least another 50 years or so…
Yes, here’s to silly times in the best possible way!
