another adventure

Wow, I love fall weather! I love how it gets cooler in the morning, warms up in the afternoon, and then cools off for some really nice evenings. This evening I went for a walk. I was kinda bored and maybe feeling a little melancholy after watching a sappy chick flick. But as I continued on my walk I really started to enjoy myself. I just let my mind wander and looked around watching my surroundings. I saw some pretty interesting things. One thing I love about Morden is how there are so many old Victorian style houses. I walked past a few and admired them and imagined memories of long ago townspeople. Morden is a town of history. It's written all over, on buildings, street corners and paintings. As I walked passed the chinese restaurant on Stephen St, a Chinese man, the owner I presumed, was sitting outside playing a wooden flute. It sounded so beautiful, I wondered what his story was. Did he have family back in China? Did he miss them? How was business going these days? A young boy was with him, sweeping the front walk. The restaurant was still open but no one was inside. Were all the new fancy fast food restaurants making business slow for this man? As I continued walking I ended up at Giant Tiger. I went in and found some beautiful socks, so I just had to splurge. I also found some Cajun snack mix, which I munched on as I continued walking. A cat sauntered across the back of a couch, a group of teenagers revved their engines as the pulled away from their slurppee stop. When I returned home, I found a penny right in front of my door. Lucky me! It was a wonderful walk and I wish I could have taken pictures but even pictures from a camera wouldn't do justice to the pictures in my imagination.
