It's nice how we have four definitive seasons here. Watching one season change to the next one is awesome.

I'm not certain about Ajax, we only have two where I live. Unless you count early winter, mid-winter and late winter separately.

But I love Canada because it has international airports.

Well I see red leaves in Autumn, wet, cold & snow in winter, blossom and new leaves in spring, and frikkin hot in summer.

We are surrounded by trees and a woodlot near my house so all the tree stuff is cool. Sounds strange but I like to look over at the woodlot while brushing my toof in the mornings. If I lived on a sub division without trees, or just a handful, then I am sure it would not be as noticeable.

Don't you miss the tower and the donkeys though? I once got to go in the ring with Charlie Cairoli at the Tower Circus. Canada can't compete with that.

Lol. There is a bigger tower here, maybe I should have had "from Blackpool tower to the CN tower" as my signature.

+ never been on a donkey, never had the urge to either.

we do seem to have four in NS:
Spring - brown, wet, miserable and then flowers and leaves on trees in one week
Summer - Bugs, long, hot, long, hot (well longer than I ever had before )
Fall - hot then warm, leaves change to lovely colours, bugs sod off, people put straw bales and pumpkins outside their houses
Winter - cold but I do manage to walk dog in my PJs in the early morning dark so not too bad, snow, blue sky, sunshine. Shovels and slushmats reside in your car. People cover their houses in lights (and I mean cover!)
