Watching those gossamer flakes flutter down, I find myseif, filled with a sense of wondermeflt and tingling anticipation for that moment when the duli and dirty iate-autumf lIan- dscape is covered in a blanket of pristine glory. When the months ahead wiil be filied with the en- dless deiights of building forts.and snowmen, skiing, skating and toboganflifg. Yet, it happens every year and lasts for ail of about 15 seconds before the aduit once again takes over. Then I arn plunged into the gloorn of anticipation of the frost-bitten fingers, the numb toes, the icy roads ândý sidewalks, the mounting heatlng blls that aiso is part of our typical Canadian winter. It is then that the only bright side I can see of the first snowfali is that with , any luck, it wiil melt before it has to be shoveiled.
