I’ve got to be straight with y’all: I am not at all a winter person but I do like to get out and then quickly get IN places and stay for awhile. Fortunately, the Haliburton Highlands offers many, many places to go and things to see, some for charitable cause, some for profit, some for free–and best of all for your enjoyment and/or to benefit your community! Just because the weather is a-changing (as I’ll address in a moment) does not mean you have to stay home getting cabin fever. Bundle up and get going. You won’t want to miss a thing!

14-Day Weather Outlook – Nov 3 through Nov 16

As we move into mid-late Autumn in the Haliburton Highlands area, the weather pattern of above-normal nighttime temperatures continues with only about 2 days of very slightly below normal temps overnight. It looks like there will only be a chance of showers 2 out of the 14 days which is well below normal (and hopefully, won’t continue). Conversely, daytime temperatures look to reach normal only 2 days out of the 14 with the rest below normal, significantly so on some days.

Dusk Dances – Last Night is Sunday the 22nd!

Hey there!

I hope you all are managing to stay cool and are bracing yourself for a really hot-weather day on Monday. No better time to be in the Highlands relaxing by or in one of the many beautiful, bountiful lakes after you have headed out to enjoy the many fun and charity-oriented activities that the Highlands offer. On the menu in the coming days and weeks are dusk dances, yoga classes, dog pedicures for charity, biking, music, summer zumba, opera lessons, a charity golf classic and more!

As usual, I’m including this week’s 14-day weather outlook. We’ve reached a point now that part of our vacation time is in the forecast and it really does not look bad. I’m glad of the warmer temperatures and I don’t mind the rain because we all know–it’s needed! The warmth and wet makes the bugs happy, too as you can see in the bug forecast. Sometimes, Deet (bug repellant) is a cottager’s best friend!

What’s Happening This Week & Summer in the Highlands

It’s a really big week coming up in the Highlands but the fun does not stop when it does. Take some time to peruse the dozens of activities in the Highlands by clicking the thumbnails above, as many great times are to be had that continue well beyond Canada Day.

We are still not sure when exactly we are going to be at Maple Lake as our siding people have the materials on order and we need to sync things up with them before departing. We have our fingers crossed but if push comes to shove I’ll end up hanging around the cottage as long as I need to.

I know for sure one activity that I don’t want to miss because 1. I’m a night owl and it runs in the afternoon, 2. it’s a farmer’s market so I can peruse great, fresh local produce EDIT/ and meat pies, cheeses and baked goods!–vast quantities of locally-cultivated EVERYTHING.  And there are local community/charity booths set up, too! I am so there! Oh and 3, it’s local to me! Here’s the flyer:

Haliburton County Farmer’s Market every Friday from 1- 5 p.m. through August 31!

With so many outdoor activities available let’s check the weather, shall we? I’m posting the two-week forecast every week to be a bit more precise–though heck, it’s the weather in cottage country–it will be what it will be. EDIT/ It looks fantastic!!!
