Because it didn’t. To recap: chilly, chilly, rain, chilly, rain, raaaiiiin, hot once or twice, overcast, chilly, high winds, tornadoes, and then glorious September weekends. I’ve been out on my bike on the Toronto lakefront trails the last couple of weekends, making up for my summer spent in the Toronto real estate bidding war trenches. (And for those who are curious: won some, lost some.)Toronto Garden, New Guinea Impatiens

I’m biased: this is my favourite time of year. I love the fall colours, the cold and the snow. And today at 5:18 pm, to be precise, we enter the autumnal equinox (read: first day of fall) when the length of day approximately equals the night. Which means starting tomorrow, the days get shorter and the nights get longer. Right up to the December solstice, which marks the beginning of winter and the shortest day of the year. But the next day …

Knowing that as much as I love this time of year, I also know there WILL be days when the salt stains creep up to my knees, the iced-up car needs to be scraped YET again, and the snow plows are somewhere in the neighbourhood but can’t seem to find my street when I most need a fast exit.

That’s when I remember how much I also love the garden. And that’s when I enjoy these photographs. I hope you do, too.

This has certainly been quite the summer, weather and real estate-wise. And unless you’ve been off the Toronto real estate grid the past couple of months, you know it’s been one hot summer for wheeling and dealing.

There’s a very simple reason for this: Supply And Demand. After a very, VERY slow start to the year buyers found their confidence (apparently all at the exact same moment) and (more…)
