Yes it is August and yes it is Autumn


The other day I woke up to the first heavy frost and snow covering the mountains a little ways outside town.  Although it's only late-August, the weather, frost, and falling leaves seems to be the equivalant to early-November in southern Ontario.  That means it's harvest time.. just about.




Frost covers and snowy mountains
And check out the container setup!  Three container gardens built atop pallets.  With the help of a fortlift, you can move them to areas that get more sunlight come late-August.  Up here in the Yukon, the Sun moves so much, depending on the season, you gotta keep up with it.  Frost covers added for effect (yes, it's cold up here but not that cold -- these two pictures were taken early-August).
