I have, indeed, been trying to take advantage of the warm weather as much as possible for the past few weeks. I hope it cools off a little, but not too much. We are just getting our act together to go on our holidays. Might go down to spend a few days in Nova Scotia. We have some favourite places along the Fundy shores where we like to hang out. If that doesn't happen, we'll be taking off up north for a couple of canoe trips. Don't know if you're into canoe-tripping at all, but this is a little trip report I posted last week on the canoes and hiking thread.

The pumpkin weighs 331.6 kilogrammes.

Mr Hoshijima, 67, plans to take his creation to the world pumpkin contest on October 26 in San Francisco.
