A perfect fall day

Sugar maple leaf and chrysanthemums


I had to drop off and renew books this morning. Guelph Public Library is situated on the edge of downtown, adjacent to one of the city's loveliest old neighbourhoods. Instead of using the parking lot, I park for free on a nearby side street and walk a block past 19th Century houses. It was a gorgeous, warm morning. Hazy sun imparted a dreamy soft focus on bright trees and flowers of early autumn. The only sound was a whisper of leaves letting go, sifting through branches and falling to rest on the sidewalk.

I spent all afternoon helping Bob erect a fence behind his condo. After lunch the sun came around and beat down on the back patio. We had to stop and sit in the shade between bursts of drilling and hammering. I had to take my shirt off. I was thankful for the opportunity to spend the day outside. Bob treated me to dinner at Angel's Diner.

The days have been full lately. It's as if my Guelph friends, particularly Sylvie and Bob, heard me complaining about feeling isolated, and decided to reconnect. Bob has more work to do on the fence. I offered to help on Thursday.
