The leaves are turning ... the fall colors in this part of the world take one's breath away. We may have frost next wednesday; that means that the nice weather that will probably come after it will be our Indian Summer. And Canadian Thanksgiving is on October 10. Hunting season just around the corner. And hockey is back. This is a great time of year.
October the 10th is St Lukes day....and a sunny warmish spell around this date is referred to as 'St Luke's Little Summer'.........I like the Autumn colours, but it fills me with dread that later on in the month we will put the clocks back by an hour and we will have shorter days.......dark when we get up and dark early in the afternoon.
It makes me want to hibernate until the end of March.
