The Black Walnut Leaves have dropped

That really does seem to sound the bell for the winter season coming. The leaves of the Black Walnut tree are pretty much on the ground now. Yesterday we collected the leaves on the ground so today will repeat that effort and then we are pretty much done with that task and winter is welcomed to come any time. There is snow in the forecast for the end of next week just before Hallowe'en. Since we are not celebrating Hallowe'en this year then the snow might as well come. 

COVID-19 is raging to the south of us in the United States. They had over 84,000 cases on Friday; quite frightening actually. Now there is us here in Canada and the cases have been rising but hopefully we can bring them down having returned to a modified second stage. It needs compliance though and that does seem to be lacking somewhat at least in our area and the Toronto area. 

I am hoping that it will come under control and we can have Christmas at least a modified version of Christmas. That would be really nice. 

However, I shall now get into my genealogy once again. We do not go out shopping other than groceries and we could pick them up. We have been going for a walk every day but we may soon just concentrate on doing that very locally. 

Worldwide there are 42,214,376 (increase of 422,610 over yesterday), 1,144,319 deaths (increase of 5,648 over yesterday) and 28,555,103 recovered (increase of 170,214 over yesterday). These are incredible numbers considering where we were in the spring.
