Autumn is disappearing

The last of the gold light has been shining these last few days and I have been collecting images as quickly as I can. I woke up this morning to dark, dreary, wet, miserable weather and decided to use some photo therapy to brighten up my spirits.



I took this photograph yesterday and apparently while doing so, proceeded to drop my wallet on the street. Thankfully a good samaritan found it and via my friend Kelly (whose phone number was in my wallet) got it back. Such a strong boost of adrenaline ran through me as I wandered my neighbourhood, losing all memory of street names so it took a while to find him but I did and gave him some of my wild blueberry freezer jam to say thank you. I hope this photo was worth all that stress!



The leaves were literally raining outside my kitchen window yesterday, chronically falling on to my deck. I want them to stay on the trees but with the stormy weather outside that will remain for days, I'll be amazed if any trees have leaves by Halloween.

I have also managed to wrench my shoulder again. I can move it a little but not much. I am starting off winter at such a disadvantage. It has been cold here. Much colder than the past autumns I have been here.

I wish I could say my heart was not filled with dread. I just hope that I am wrong and that we have a gentle winter ahead. The word gentle is not one I associate with this province but I invite it to prove me wrong.
