Is it just me, or
do we seem to be skipping seasons in Alberta this year?
First there was
spring, which you pretty much missed if you blinked. Even after the snow
melted, we had very little spring-like weather before it was suddenly summer,
and except for a couple of really hot days, that season kind of went by in a
blur.
Now, only a week
after the first day of autumn, parts of the province are already seeing snow.
SNOW!
Don’t get me wrong.
There is much to love about winter – like snowshoeing (my new favourite hobby),
wood burning fires, and of course, Christmas. But the leaves haven’t even
finished changing colours, and the prairies are so beautiful in Autumn. It’s
kind of sad.
Grandpa and I
checked the Farmer’s Almanac, and it’s calling for a c-c-cold winter. I don’t
know how much I believe in that old book, but I do know this: it’s time to dig
out my winter coat and get bundled up.
The weatherman
predicts a fairly mild weekend. I plan to spend it snapping pics of the beautiful
fall colours before they disappear under a blanket of white. What’s on your
agenda for the next couple of days?
Gotta jet!
