It’s Fall over here in Canada, and I couldn’t be happier!  If you don’t live around here, you wouldn’t know that we just had one of the worst, crappiest, rainy, blah summers ever.  We could hardly get a weeks worth of sunshine and we were constantly peed on by some mean looking cumuli. So, bring on Fall!  If we’re going to sit through crappy weather like that, we might as well have some perks to go along with it right?  Yummy apples made for some great, crunchy apple crisp and the chilly weather made from some nice Fall colors.  We decided to take a walk and check things out, as we both love walking in the forest paths that are right at the end of our street.  This may sound familiar as I’ve posted about this before, this past March, while I was looking for signs of Spring.  you can check out that post here.  That post and this one, kind of make nice bookends to a sub par summer.  I would ask for a refund if I could folks, but all sales are final with Mother Nature.

Sunday was your typical Fall day: overcast with a stiff, cold breeze.  Melissa and I packed Sam up with a few layers of clothing, poor kid couldn’t move his arms. He was wearing his new Fall coat and he seemed to be totally… unaware that it was his new Fall coat.  Which, in retrospect, is perfectly normal.  It’s the parents expecting their 7 month old to notice that it’s his new Fall coat that’s the problem. We then “crow-barred” him into his super wheeled, off-road, full suspension, 4 wheel drive stroller that Sam’s Uncle Mike gave him, and set off on our merry little way.  He seemed to enjoy the chilly air on his cheeks, cause that’s all of him that was exposed, and soon fell asleep!  He always does this.  Whenever we bring him somewhere… he’s gone.  This summer, we went to the ocean, which is as you know one of the grandest of natures beauties, limitless in its expanse and inspiring wonder.  But Sam fell asleep right when we hit the beach. You can read that adventure series here, some here, a little here and lastly here.

As with every time I take a walk through this little forest trail, I spot little things that make me take pictures.  Curious things like the white berries on the left, or the known but no-less-beautiful things like a bee getting some nectar in his belly before the big chill of winter.  I even caught that “huge” dragonfly on the wall of my house, just sitting there starting at me.  He scared the crap out of me as I stepped out of the house.  Think that’s funny? Well it was H-U-G-E I tells ya! Just look at that pic! I was a little disappointed, however, that the leaves hadn’t changed colors as much as I had hoped.  Here are a few shots of what we saw.  I’ll try and get back out there this upcoming weekend and get a few more nice shots of the rainbow foliage… maybe even a few with Sam sitting in some leaves.  If he’s awake. :/

Overall, it was a nice afternoon to be together as a family.  Sam woke up after we had gotten home, which was about an hour after we had left.  The way the fresh air had affected Sam now hit us full force. Melissa and I were yawing and thinking about laying down for a quick nap when Sam woke up, full of vim and ready for an intense crawling and playing session.  So on the floor we went, playing with the little guy until supper.  We had great fun together, as always.  He’s just a giggle-puss that kid.  Melissa and I got creative and stuck him in his toy bin to give us a little break (and get a funny picture). Joke was on us as he loved it in there!  He had all his toys and buddies in there with him and he never complained.  And as you can see, he’s got no way out which let us get supper ready.

Whew, what a day! We were all pooped when bedtime rolled around.  We had nothing planned as of that morning, but it’s funny how things just seem to Fall into your lap during those lazy Sundays.

That’s it for now, thanks for reading!
