I was tempted, but I would be lost. Lost in imagined memories of a magic forest, spinning around, kicking up crispy coloured leaves and just playing. My adult self apparently knew better and I walked past and around this leafy oasis behind Regina’s Legislative buildings. My childhood temptation was shared by the friends I met at Bliss Bistro for a Christmas in September evening. Turkey, stuffing, cranberries, mashed potatoes and crunchy/tender brussell sprouts served to us outside on a little porch by active tennis courts. Our meal was topped off with pie ~ pecan, pumpkin, or apple. The warmth of an autumn afternoon settled into the crisp chill of an autumn evening as we laughed, we visited and enjoyed a lovely evening together.

is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise.”

The temptation in this leafy photo had to be hard to pass over. You must in fact be the adult - then again though the call to that planned Christmas feast no doubt gave you plenty of counter reasoning to time playing, twirling and crunching in the leaves.
