The weather in the Haliburton Highlands is mild and wet. It’s barely hitting freezing during the overnights, with the days quite moist. Next Friday looks to be a bright and sunny day though, with seasonable temperatures.
Some Fun Things To Do in the Haliburton Highlands:

Check out the name of this store, The Maple Moon. I love it! My boys brought me (I stayed home with the pooches for the season inaugural trip) a really cool pressie this summer past here. I'm making a point to visit The Maple Moon next summer when we should be there upwards of 2-3 weeks straight.

Festival of Trees November 25, 26 & 27, 2011
Make sure to click each announcement to be able to view it full-size. The Christmas sale begins this weekend, the Festival of Trees, next weekend as the Christmas sale at the Maple Moon continues.

Hey everyone!
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. I would so love to be able to visit right now. The colours must be spectacular. One day…
Anyway, Roger took these shots.* He is so much more talented than I with the scenic ones.
*Except the ones of Obi on our raft.
If you’d like a full size copy or copies email me–I’ll zip them up and send them to you.
Cheers!

Full Moon Rail Line Ramble - August 13 - Haliburton Highlands
GET FULL MOON FEVER ON AUGUST 13!:
I always try to plan my time at Maple Lake, Ontario, Canada to coincide with the full moon. This year however, is a little different in that I’m heading up at a completely different time than I usually would. While this is exciting for me as weather conditions and such could be quite different–late summer in the Haliburton Highlands is something to behold–I’m going to miss the full moon.
BUT if you are in the Haliburton Highlands area now–or plan to be on Saturday August 13–you can enjoy this little adventure with Earth’s ethereal satellite. Read on for all the details! (CLICK to enlarge for better viewing.)
