dreaming of indian summer

i used to love fall in ontario...the freshness and crispness in the air was a welcome change from the stifling heat of the summer. you could wear a jacket again and real shoes. it was good. it was still sunny...just cool and sunny. the leaves...well....ecpecially in ottawa and quebec. they were the best there. i miss the colour. something about warm dry days mixed with cold nights that would make them especially bright some years. we would drive in the gataneux....just to see them. it was like watching fireworks in the forest....

i often get a little home sick at this time of year. vancouver fall’s are wet, dark and gloomy. it gets to my bones and stays there.

you walk into a store or coffee shop and they have all the doors and windows open. sometimes it’s colder inside than out. i never quite got that one.

in a way it seems worse b/c we were so spoilt this year with such an awesome summer.

thinking about another winter in rainy vancouver....ugh....it makes me just want to drink tea and curl up in bed.
oh and the very worst of it....no more showboat......
