We stopped hoping for just one more hot Indian summer day. Geese can be seen heading south, flying in the distinct “V” pattern—I see their annual migration as a local version of “rats abandoning a sinking ship.” Suddenly, there’s nothing more tempting than to curl up under a cosy throw or eat a steamy hot bowl of something rich and filling. Gloves are paired, tuques are washed and scarves are ready to block the wind. This evening we were five women hesitating between several ultra-moisturizing Nivea creams at Walmart. It’s fall, for real.
Feng is watching the MLB World Series and the NHL season
started so whenever I glance at the TV screen I see either a bunch of guys
standing around waiting for a ball to be thrown at them or on-ice fights.
Mark is looking forward to Halloween, possibly his favourite
holiday because it involves scary monsters and all-you-can-eat candies.
Meanwhile, I started drinking hot tea again and I’m already
sleeping under two blankets.
Yep, it’s fall.
It’s the season of endless downpours, days that could be
warm enough if it wasn’t for the chilly northern wind, freshly harvested apples
and colourful squash, hot drinks and thick soups, scary movies and sweet
treats.
It’s also the “not yet, please!” season. Christmas calendars, road salt and ice melt are already prominently displayed in most supermarkets but it feels too early to plan for what’s coming—well, you must have heard Jon Snow saying it.
I love those multicolored carrots, and the painted pumpkins are so cute ! It’s a good idea, I guess you can keep them longer than when you carve them. Oh, and the last picture is amazing 🙂
Saturday was a beautiful fall day but Sunday, oh gosh, it was miserable. Heavy downpour the whole day… i love fall but I hate rain, so let’s say I’m only mid-happy lol.
J’adore m’imprégner des couleurs et de l’odeur de l’automne avant que l’hiver nous arrive de plein fouet! C’est une saison pour se remplir d’énergie… tes photos sont superbes 🙂
I learned to love fall in Canada–it’s a great season here (when it doesn’t pour or gets cold too early!). Fall in France was pretty meh. Mostly damp and windy.

Carving pumpkins is definitely a skill! … and I don’t master it. I tried a couple of times but boy, it’s hard!

Yep, same weather yesterday. Awful. I felt the sun didn’t even rise.
