Seasons Change

Last Sunday we drove down to the cape

to close up the cottage for the season

I love living in a place where there are 4 distinct seasons
and I can see the differences as each one arrives

with Spring brings hope ~ new life

things turning green

melting snow ~ warmer weather

then comes Summer ~ sunshine ~ vacation

beach time ~ dinner on the patio
longer days ~ beautiful blossoms everywhere and 

new memories being made

with Autumn it is warm days and cooler nights

crunchy leaves and sweaters
and the colour show is breathtaking

skipping over Winter right now ~ not my favourite for sure

although I could not image a Christmas without snow...

so closing up the cottage makes me sad in one way

sad that summer is over but when I sat down to write in the guestbook

I smiled at all the entries ~ people that have walked through the door this year

good times with good friends

it's a long weekend for us
so as of 6 tonight ~ I have 3 days off
it is Thanksgiving here in Canada
so we will gather at the inlaws camp on Sunday and give thanks and eat turkey
then to Mom's on Monday for a ham dinner

yes ~ we are blessed.
