oh. okay. that was fall, then.
only yesterday, REALLY, life was bare shoulders and strappy sandals; today it's woolly scarves and rosy cheeks.
blame it on environmental abuse, if you will, but i believe that the whole season simply refuses to waste its precious time on a place where leaves don't turn much more than a muddy brown, where there is no corn-on-the-cob, no bonfires, no hallowe'en and no thanksgiving.
apart from my family, autumn is the thing about canada that i miss the most.
then come back and visit :-) i'll make you dinner
ReplyDeleteOriginal autumnpicture.
ReplyDeleteHere it's a record breaking 105 degrees Fahrenheit or 40 degrees Celsius. The weekend's sunburn is just starting to peel from my nose. I miss autumn too!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'll miss Autumn the most!! Come to Philadelphia - surprisingly, we are having the most PERFECT fall weather here.
ReplyDeleteI'd have invited you to my mom's "Autumn fest" a couple weeks ago - everyone bundled up in sweaters, ate chili (w/ meat and vegetarian!)... then when it got dark we sat around a bonfire next to the cornfield that is my parents' 10-acre yard eating pumpkin pie and brownies. We even went for hayrides around the yard, scaring ourselves silly.
Autumn is the only season I miss. No crunchy leaves. I love jumping on those.
ReplyDeletejen: i would so like to take you up on that! but no mushrooms please..and in the meantime: an address? i have something very small and very dutch to ship westward!
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot, Lynn!
ReplyDeleteyes, its too hot over here to feel like fall. i used to live near chicago and the fall colors were just glorious.
ReplyDeletebtw, those are pretty colors on the corn. i wonder if they taste as good as they look.
