e - the fall leaves are fall, fall, falling.


I hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving weekend and enjoyed the amazingly beautiful weather that we had!
The fall is fading quickly, it always does though.
Fall has to be my favourite time of year by far. What's not to love about the crisp fall air, the beautiful colours and all the scarf wearing you could ever want? I'm not sure and don't think that there's really anything to top those feelings. I'm happiest if the fall too. It's not too hot, not too cold and i can bundle up in my favourite scarfs and sweaters and not look like an idiot for wearing too much or too little, it's the perfect amount of comfort.
The next best feeling to that is experiencing the first few weeks of a new season, even though we go though the same thing each year and it shouldn't feel too foreign to us it always surprises me the way I feel when each season rolls in. In the winter I always have that same feeling of excitement when the first snowfall graces our presence and I'll watch out the window with the biggest smile on my face and sometime venture out to twirl around under the floating sparkles filling the sky and floating to my feet, don't hate me but I'm really looking forward to the snow - and even christmas, gasp. I bet you it's my job that's having this fa-la-la-la-la-losery feelings. Spring on the other hand I have a love hate relationship with, I love being able to peel off layers when it starts to get warm and I love, love, love spring, the mud, the grass, that humidity that lingers through the air. I also hate spring for it's unpredictableness weather wise, the way it makes everything muddy and icky and the way all of the dog poop appears out of no where like a magic trick you don't want to be part of. ick. And summer is a given, everyone loves summer as they should. You can tell when it's summer here in Kingston when all of the pub's and downtown restaurants start hauling out their patios. The first summer bevy on a patio is something that we all look forward to for sure. And there's all the awesome things that summer brings like camping, kayaking, parties, skinny dipping and passing out on your front lawn. Ahhhhh, loves it.



We'll be enjoying some amazing fall weather in Montreal this weekend with a little baseball watching. Jed, Brant's brother plays on the Oshawa Durham College baseball team and they won the All Ontario Championship last weekend and are heading to the National Championships in Montreal. We're pretty excited, so expect lots of pictures and such!

By the way, as I mentioned, I have a new job, SURPRISE. ha, I'm working at Kingston's amazing, Cooke's Fine Foods assembling Christmas Baskets, it's awesome!






Here are some more pics from my Thanksgiving
weekend in Sharbot Lake at Bran't Granny's.

you described the seasons beautifully. and i really couldn't agree more, there isn't anything better then the beginning of a season. i find myself at the beginning of every season thinking 'wow, this is totally my favourite season'. it's nice to be optimistic about the weather.
