Already bundled up

It's unseasonably cold here in Montreal. We haven't turned on the heat yet, but we're definitely into the fall wardrobe. I had to wear gloves yesterday morning, biking downtown to sing - seems awfully early for that - and there's a frost warning for Thursday night. Typically for our city, as I wandered around in the underground yesterday between services, I saw people wearing parkas, wooly scarves, and hats, and also plenty of young people with bare arms and tiny skirts, though often with tights and ankle boots. My leather coat is as far as I've been willing to go so far - it's still September!

There's color in the trees, but I'm still anticipating an Indian summer with lots of warm days ahead. (Hold that thought, please!)
