Rain, Rain, and......some more rain!

September in Squamish is traditionally a time of preparation for our winter travels...saving that last bit of cash, finding a new bikini, buying plane tickets and finding a place to store our bicycles. This year, we aren't going anywhere, and it sure feels strange to watch our friends getting ready to leave. It started to rain a few days ago.........with no end in sight.



I am in the throes of studying for exams...the last few days, immersed in the wonderful world of Renaissance poetry. Sometimes a girl just needs to dress her baby in a snowsuit.....





In other news, Winter is seven and a quarter months old...no teeth in sight, just learning to scootch across the bed, waving at people (real waving, not random arm flailing), and mixing vowels and consonants..gagagag dadadada etc. I think it won't be long now before I hear the sweetest word of all...MAMA!





Until next time, I wish all of you a happy fall, and for those of you in dry and colourful Ontario, take a deep breath of that sweet wood-smoky, ripe-apple, golden-leaf air for me!
