“For myself, I am an optimist it does not seem much use being anything else” - Winston Churchill
It's coming to the end of May and this last winter was one that was not taken with all that much pleasure. It not only was cold it was challenging.
This city is growing on me. I live for summer, never take this time of year for granted, as it's a precious time. The equator could be a tad closer. After a busy day, I decided to go out to a place where this restaurant is nearby. I met the owner two weeks ago and I was wished to take in the atmosphere and have a coffee and if I could and the place was not too busy I was going to take a few picture of this fine place which is called.... oops I forget. But I will get there. I don't know why but it was closed. So of I went to this area that every loves in this part of the city. I think it's a break away from all the things that take place with work and all that goes along with living in a large city.
I truly love am starting to really love this place, and the people that reside within my area of the suburbs. I met someone from Latin America that is from Cuba. She has family in Florida and she could see that I was confused as far as directions - she probably could see that I was new to Edmonton and she offered directions. There after I made a change of address from where I lived and I met again a person from
India. She had moved to here four years ago. While changing address and sending off a fax, she asked where I was from. It's always hard to explain as I greeted her with Namaste. Then after explaining she I gave wrote down for her this address, as she was interested as was the one from Latin America. 
Mat was out with his dog when I arrived at the riverside. He was more than happy to allow me to take a picture of his dog after we had some small talk. And that dog would not do what we wanted to do so I decided thereafter to do a video as the picture was not going to happen after we tried a few times. His dog was interested in one thing.
Soon now May will be coming to and end, and June will come in it's that time where the activities that one can do are so much easier in comparison to winter. Give me summer for 8 months of the year and I will take the coldest winter for the remaining four.
I hope you have a bright and warm summer.
ReplyDeleteI am all for it. Way to go 8-4. That should also be the length of my working days while we are at it lol, but that is another story. May your summer be pleasant and warm.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the Summer, it is hard for an island girl who only lived in Florida the meaning of the change of seasons. I would love to see the Fall in Virginia. Maybe this year....
