Winter Walk


Last Friday we had a huge snow storm. The forecast was for 25 centimetres of snow to fall. To me, it seemed like a lot more. I was on the road that day and traffic was a mess (to put it lightly). There were many, many cars stuck in piles of deep snow which snarled things up everywhere.

While tonnes of snow is a pain to drive through, it's certainly pretty to look at. On Sunday (after church) I thought I'd go for a walk through Mount Pleasant Cemetery. It was the only place near my condo I could think of which had a park-like setting.

It wasn't as much of a "winter wonderland" as I was hoping for. The roads inside had been plowed and most of the snow which had covered the trees had fallen to the ground.

I eventually made my way to the ravine behind the cemetery (on the south end). Part of it runs south and eventually connects with Mount Pleasant Avenue. You can also head west up the hill to St. Clair Avenue.

It was nice down there. Fairly quiet. Not too many people. A few joggers and some dog walkers. That's about it.
