Autumn

 Oh, how the seasons are changing. I love the summer hot days, sunny until 9 pm and sunrise at 5am. Now it is Autumn, short days, wet and cool. Not my favorite season although I do enjoy the clothing and leaves turning but not November and the bareness. I do look forward to the changing of the seasons. Makes you feel alive.

This weekend it is well above seasonal temperatures here in Collingwood, I cleaned off my deck/balcony from plants and ornaments. I usually do that in October after Thanksgiving, but they are going to be painting the outside of my building so I cleared and put away most things other then a couple of chairs. 

Well, I hope everyone in Collingwood was able to get outside and enjoyed the day! Not many days like this are going to be around. It is a beautiful area to live in and the air quality is the best. Hope everyone has a fantastic week.

Take care & be safe!! 😀

Family

 Well, it was my mom and sister's birthday. Kinda different celebration during covid. My Mom and sister have birthdays on the same day. My niece has her's the following week. My dad is at home recovering from his stroke he had in May 2020. He is doing quite well for being paralyzed on his entire right half. He is recovering and has a very strong will. He lives about 3 hours from me so makes visiting difficult (about once a month). But phone conversations work well too. I miss him dearly and feel like it might be the last time I see him after every visit. Man, you are never prepared for your parent to pass on. Life is very short, my dad and I have always been close. Now that he almost lost his life, he is very sweet and loving. Makes my cry to know how much love he has for me. I hope he lives a few more years, he travels to Mexico but since this virus in upon us he won't be going. He can't now anyhow due to Covid 

It's now September, raining and always damp, so it seems. It is Labour Day today, so I am off work and just taking it easy and going to a friend's for dinner. Well, I don't like the fall much, I find the weather to be depressing watching everything die and the wet weather. If the sun comes out that is what I like, but the wet drizzle isn't warming. I like the sun and the warmth. When the leaves change colour and walking in the forest with the crunchy leaves on a warm sunny day! 

Time to end our conversation for today.

Have a great week!
