It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood

 

Autumn has arrived in the Okanagan Valley. Fall’s frosty hand has begun to show its artistry and the results are stunningly beautiful.  This photo was taken in our community a few days ago. It almost makes you forget that winter is just around the corner.

So I began to think of things that I like, to make winter seem more bearable, a ‘whiskers on kittens’ sort of thing. Curling up with a good book beside a cosy fireplace would be a good one, with perhaps a hot toddy for company. Now It’s sounding more positive.

-Tweed jackets, I love the texture and warmth of tweed jackets

-Hoarfrost on the trees, always gorgeous, Mother Natures’s temporary masterpiece

-Big, fat snowflakes that drift and swirl softly to the ground

– Christmas, with its bright colours and good will and family visits

Already this puts me in a better frame of mind about winter.  Now, I shall embrace and enjoy a glorious fall day.
