Fall part 2

I think I am thinking more of the changing seasons this year as I go into my second year of retirement. Time passes quickly.

My furnace and heating ducts (after major renovations this past winter) have all been cleaned. A few mornings when I woke up my house was a little chilly so I did turn on the furnace.

The other morning when I stepped into the bus it was nice and cosy and warm - the heat was on.

I am starting to find my winter clothes. Do I have enough gloves? Where are my jackets and sweaters and sweatshirts? Goodbye to shorts and sandals.

On my morning walks in my neighbourhood I encounter lineups for school buses. If I am out later in day I can hear the kids outside at recess at the two schools near me.

There is a large section of forest near the highway I use coming home from visiting the horse. The colours there are not as green as they used to be and soon the colours will be quite brillant and fall like.
