We made it to November 2 with green grass and no snow. There have been a few snow ‘episodes’, but nothing that stuck. It’s been cool and beautiful. A little discombobulating as well. The leaves are all gone, but the grass in the back yard is summer green.

A lovely (mostly) stroll through the Fort Edmonton area – over the footbridge and up the friggin’ stairs. Lots of people enjoying an atypically wind-free afternoon. First day after the clocks have been returned to mountain standard time. When I used to walk home from work, it was a sad day, because it cut short my walks in the river valley and ravine. Now, it’s just another day.
