Grand Mere Park
This weekend was one of the most beautiful weather weekends I can remember. Maybe since we all know what is coming next, we welcome and greatly appreciate any sunny day we can get in early autumn. The sun was shining, the leaves were beginning to turn and there was hardly a hint of humidity in the air. I felt like I wanted to spend every waking moment outside.
We are still adjusting to our new town, but there is not much to complain about when you can walk on the beach in minutes and enjoy some spectacular fall days. I was even able to walk in the water and I could have and should have gone swimming, since it may be the last time until next June.
A friend said on facebook, “ remind me of this in January” and I think this holds true for all of us. What a gift to have summer weather in October. I plan on taking a walk on the lake again today and embrace the day. I’m still missing my friends but my cell phone certainly helps. Maybe I have found another breathing space? It will never replace Glen Arbor but there is always room for more places to take a deep breath.
Here are some explanations for the term Indian summer, which you may find interesting. Technically it refers to days in late fall followed by frost but the term has become widely used for any stretch of unseasonably warm weather in fall.
