CaledonMoneypit 🇨🇦<p>We were kicked out of our house early this morning for a scheduled real estate showing, so we took advantage of the crisp fall weather and took Harley for a hike.

CaledonMoneypit 🇨🇦<p>Harley and I enjoyed a short hike this morning, taking advantage of this awesome fall weather.<br>We've had a stretch of warm dry weather and we have had to deeply water our gardens twice so far in September, after zero need for irrigation from June through August. The dry weather appears to be stressing the trees which likely means less intense fall colours. Lots of leaves on the ground already. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/DogsOfMastadon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DogsOfMastadon</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Caledon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Caledon</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Hiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hiking</span></a></p>

CaledonMoneypit 🇨🇦<p>The need to build housing bumps up against NIMBYism and growth concerns in my community. We're a rural area on the edge of Toronto so there's tremendous pressure to start paving farmland (HWY 413 will cut through the southern portion of Caledon) and increase the population. I worry about sprawl, because that's the majority of approved projects, and not creating walkable, livable towns with GO connections.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Caledon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Caledon</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/HousingCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HousingCrisis</span></a><br><a href="https://www.caledonenterprise.com/news/council/mzo-on-crack-caledon-residents-ask-mayor-to-slow-down-fast-tracked-housing-for-35/article_b81727a7-fed4-5459-a74d-885acc4d87b3.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">caledonenterprise.com/news/cou</span><span class="invisible">ncil/mzo-on-crack-caledon-residents-ask-mayor-to-slow-down-fast-tracked-housing-for-35/article_b81727a7-fed4-5459-a74d-885acc4d87b3.html</span></a></p>
CaledonMoneypit 🇨🇦<p>Harley and I walked around our property this morning at 7 am. The wet snow coating the trees and fog made it feel magical. I captured a few photos before it disappeared, as warmer temperatures will start melting everything later today.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Caledon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Caledon</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/WinterWonderland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WinterWonderland</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/LandscapePhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LandscapePhotography</span></a></p>

CaledonMoneypit 🇨🇦<p>A not particularly exciting photo but nonetheless sad. I was out inspecting shrubs now that our snow cover is gone and discovered pur baby Eastern Redbud tree got snapped off near the ground. It likely happened during one of the ice storms we had in January. We started it as a seedling 3 years ago and last fall it was about 3 feet tall. I should have protected it better for the winter, despite its sheltered location. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gardening</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Caledon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Caledon</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Zone5a" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Zone5a</span></a></p>
