Goodbye Summer, Welcome WinFall

There are 4 seasons in a year, Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall.

I live in Calgary and can tell you that the weather here does not follow the norm. In 2016, we experienced a hot Spring and a rainy Summer. This year, the Summer season was not too hot because we experienced some rainfall. Anyway, this is October and the Fall season should run from September till November 30.

Winter season should run from December 1 to February 28, but my beloved Calgary is experiencing our first actual snow of the year. We’ve had some flurries in the past weeks, but today’s snow is brutal. According to Calgary Police, there were a total of 251 crashes within the city between 11.00pm on October 1st and 3.30pm on October 2nd.

I’m not looking forward to the winter season this early. I sincerely hope the Chinook wind blows towards Calgary soon so we can have a break.

Since this season should be called Fall, but there’s so much snow on the ground, I have renamed the season and called it WinFall.

Here’s a peek of the view I had this morning.

Happy Canada day

True North, Strong and Free.

I relocated to Canada in 2014 and I have never regretted the move, rather, I’ve had various reasons to be overjoyed I did. Canada is a nation that welcomes immigrants and gives them the opportunities to become better versions of themselves.

Let me give a quick rundown of some of the things I love about Canada:

1. Polite people: We are super friendly and polite in Canada. Aggressive behaviour is not a regular character trait of the average person here. We are always willing to help people and teach everyone to say the magic words: “Please and Thank you “.💕

2. Maple Syrup: Have you tasted our Maple Syrup? No pancake meal is complete without it. It’s yummy and healthy too. I love it.😁

3. Road Trips: Travelling across Canada is always one big adventure. Canada has a massive land mass🚯 and driving even within a Province is usually fun. There are exciting places to visit, waterfalls to see, blueberries to pick and food to eat.😍😘😎

The list is not exhaustive, but just a short message to appreciate my home.

God keep our land, glorious and free. Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee.🙏

Happy Canada day.
