We really do live in a beautiful city. Probably one of the greatest things about moving to a new city is watching how each season changes the horizon just a little, or in Ottawa's case - a lot. In just 2 short months, the vibrant green trees have turned to red, gold, orange and yellow; people have broken out their sweaters and boots as the temperatues creep lower and lower; with thanksgiving just passed, the smell of turkey, stuffing, cranberries, apples and cinnimon filled the streets. Now, pumpkins with elaborate expressions and frightening scenes are popping up on the leaf covered doorsteps. Halloween is just around the corner, and you can already see the excitement in people of all ages. While October has always been my favourite month, there is something a little extra special about my first October in Ottawa.
