This is the first time we have been in PEI during the fall months. We decided to take a drive and take in all the fall colors of the island. It is just beautiful here. The trees along the roads are gorgeous with their red and orange leaves. It is picture perfect!
There are several little towns that get right into the festivities of the season. There are pumpkins galore here on the island and it seems that every house has at least 2 or 3 sitting on their steps. Many of the houses are decorated for Halloween which always gets me in the mood for decorating too. Unfortunately we move into our new house the day after Halloween so I won’t be decorating for Halloween … but Christmas is just around the corner and that’s MY FAVORITE time of year for decorating!! I can’t wait for that time to come!
We drove through Kensington, around London Bay, and past Cavandish on our way to North Rustico.
It was a beautiful drive. The weather was a little cloudy but the colors of the countryside were incredible.
When we drove through the Provincial Parkway from Cavendish on our way to North Rustico, we came across our friends … the Red Foxes.
We could see ahead of us a frenzy of foxes on the roadway.
We slowed right down to see what all the commotion was about.
There were 6 or 7 foxes gathered by the side of the road … and one of them had a big 8 to 10 pound frozen roast beef!
I guess maybe the park ranger comes by to feed the foxes so they don’t starve.
They all wanted a piece of this big roast but the one fox who had claimed it, wasn’t planning on sharing any of it!
The other foxes circled the main fox and each time one tried to get close enough to sneak a bite, the ears would go back on the main fox and he would let out a high pitched squeal and snap at the other foxes, all the while covering the big roast with his body.
Ron managed to get a movie of it.
It’s unfortunate that my blog won’t post movies because I’m sure you would all enjoy watching it.
I’ve never seen foxes fight amongst themselves before.
I felt sorry for the other foxes who weren’t able to get a bite.
We told the main fox to share with the other foxes, but I don’t think he was listening to us.
Several people stopped to watch the action.
It was something you just don’t see every day!
After watching the foxes for a while, we carried on our travels. We stopped at a little café in North Rustico and picked up some sandwiches. Then we went to a little parking lot area that over looked the water to have our lunch. We just love sitting and looking at the water. There’s just a sense of calmness about it while looking at water. I can just see ourselves having lunch on our deck at the new house while looking out over the valley and river below. It will be a perfect setting for peace and relaxation. Only 11 more days until that becomes a reality. We can hardly wait!

Hi i enjoy seeing your photos. We have turned a corner here too. We have cooler weather and rain after our record breaking hot dry. Did you hear ? Broke all records back to 1904! So now that clouds have lifted we have snow on the mountains. I was at a gathering for Janice's daugter Rachelle. She got married this summer but had a very small group so this little ladies gathering was kind of like a shower. They are going on a trip to Mexico so there was a money tree. Good luck moving! Do you have your stuff? Or will it be all new? BLB
