Indian Summer in Montreal today, perfect to paint!

What a day, and I am still inside, reading, cleaning and now posting after all these months! Don't I realise that Indian Summer lasts for only a couple of days; don't I know that I had better get out and enjoy it, paint it, embrace it, soak it in,..till the terrible beast of Winter lands!?!  Yes, I know, but I'm a bit in denial!  It feels that it will last, that these beautiful autumn colors will shine through the window for long, that the warm air coming in will continue....what am I saying!  I will stop writing, no matter how long it's been, and go out and face this extraordinary October day.  I guess those who don't live here cannot understand my urgency and fear of the coming winter! These few warm days are Natures way of preparing us kindly for what is yet to come. A kind of respite or reprieve!  Well, bye for now.......
