This Is What I Miss

Woke up to a beautiful, sunny fall day in London.

I haven’t experienced an Ontario fall in over 16 years.  Autumn is my favourite time of year. 

I tried to plan this trip so that I would be here at the peak of the season. I envisioned myself strolling down the path at Springbank Park amid a blaze of red, orange, and yellow foliage, a colourful carpet crunching satisfactorily beneath my feet.

Unfortunately, more rain and a warmer than usual September delayed the turning of the leaves and the only thing being crunched underfoot on the path were the hordes of wooly-bear caterpillars migrating to only they-knew-where.

Still, it is nice to be in London this time of year with the sunshine and crisp air.
