Nov. 20, 2006 - Our very warm spell of temperatures in the teens Celsius, as
high as 21 C., ended abruptly a day or two ago, and now it is quite cool and
windy again.  As advised by Judy Tufts, I checked out the Wolfville
Waterfront Park for PLANTS WITH NEW BLOSSOMS on them and found some for the
following species: BLUE OR COW VETCH, RED CLOVER, FALL DANDELION, and
possibly GARDEN HELIOTROPE?? (for the latter, just new tiny white flowers
but no new leaves).  There were also some ASTER flowers, but I believe those
were old and just hangers-on that had formed long before that spell of warm
weather hit us.

Bill and Brenda Thexton report that in the fields along College Road at
Windsor, there were about 400 CANADA GEESE over the weekend, 1-2 days ago.
And within the past week, at Lakeville¹s Silver Lake there were about 300+
CANADA GEESE, with several HOODED MERGANSERS still present there too.
