In Canada, today is a holiday. Officially, it’s Thanksgiving, but many people celebrate its spirit on Saturday, Sunday or today. It depends on how you want to arrange it and the availability of friends and family. I think that most people like to have the Monday to just be, though.
If that’s the case, it’s an excellent day for gentle walking and enjoyment of the autumn weather.
Wherever you are, I hope that you have had the opportunity to be together with friends, family, or to enjoy the weekend in whatever way suits you best.
Happy Monday.
Autumn chrysanthemums getting ready to bloom.
The white ash trees are changing rapidly but the maple tree next to it is still very green.
The water lilies are finished for the year but their pond drowses in the lovely warmth of a sunny autumn day.
Happy Wednesday.
I regularly walk near these white ash trees and two days ago, they were green …
… but they have now donned their autumn dress in preparation for their winter sleep.
In the meantime, we get to enjoy these gorgeous colours.
A beautiful interlude.
Happy Monday.

It has cooled off but we are still getting very comfortable daytime temperatures of 23C or so (73F).
As autumn settles into itself, sitting in the sun is very pleasant, almost somnolent.
Best of all, it’s cooling at night to very nice sleeping temperatures. Opening a window for fresh evening air is such a small but lovely perk.
Happy weekend.
Here, the autumnal signs were at first very slow and muted, but suddenly – seemingly overnight – the foliage colours and other signals arrived en masse. The wind began delivering a sharp edge and together with intermittently leaden skies, the sun started its fallish slant.
I’m enjoying this cooler weather, though. It was a hot summer and up until a few days ago, we were still experiencing temperatures in the mid to high 20s (about 80 F). According to the prognosticators, we will probably be getting a few more of them, but this invigorating and lovely coolness will eventually take over.
Happy autumn. 🍂

A morning walk is a great thing all by itself …
… but when you also have lovely weather …
… and gorgeous scenery, you can be inspired to walk longer!
Happy Saturday.
We have had a few days of cooler temperatures but are now climbing back up there. But before it became too hot again – we’re expecting low 30s (about 88F) – we spent the day outside in the not-too-hot sun, walking and eating a late lunch.
We had a great day.
