In Canada, it's the prolonged winter that wears you out, not the cold. We become accustomed to the cold in March, but when it is -2 degrees in the morning in May while going to work, it slowly exhausts the soul. Hyacinths and tulips then spring up in the thawing soil following the lengthy winter.

Magnolias bloom, maples show their leaves. By mid-June, all the trees turn to green. Following an endless winter and a spring that doesn't look like spring, people want to enjoy short Canadian summer.

During that summer, something inexplicable happens. The winter is completely gone from memory. The days which are just a month ago, everything was covered in snow, the car's dashboard displayed -20 degrees, and it was impossible for humans and dogs to walk the dog will soon be forgotten. The secret to the survival of immigrants from all over the world in this cold country is this amnesia and the wonderful Canadian summer. Then, while taking a summertime walk, a yellow leaf appears out of nowhere on the sidewalk. You notice a few of them when you look up at the tree.

A scream rises from the very deep: No, no, not yet! I'm not ready for the winter! Although it terrifies, that yellow leaf announces the arrival of Canada's most lovely season. The trees soon begin to change into vivid yellows, oranges, and reds. Along with the trees, the sidewalks also change color with the fallen leaves. You feel like walking in a fairy tale world.

Between mid- and late-October, the leaves colors are at its most beautiful. There are short routes that you can take to see the change in the leaves in each region. If you don't have the time to travel, even a quick glance at the backyard, a quick walk through the neighborhood, or a quick drive will show you this beauty.

Many small towns host fairs and fall festivals. Farms start selling pumpkin and pumpkin tarts. Pumpkins are used to decorate the fronts of the houses. Halloween preparations begin. Carving scary faces into pumpkins, lighting candles inside of them, and placing them in front of the house are traditions.

Dream of children, Halloween,is celebrated on the evening of October 31st. There is no holiday on October 31, the children attend school. Many schools permit students to attend in costume, and some even host a costume show in the gyms. Children dressed in costumes fill the gloomy streets as night falls. They run from house to house gathering candy. Some adults take part in this celebration with such enthusiasm that some homes' garages resemble sets from a horror film.

At this time when the beauty of the leaves is at its best Thanksgiving is also celebrated in October in Canada. Thanksgiving is a holiday for adults. It is a holiday in every state of Canada. Everyone celebrates this day with their family and loved ones, despite the fact that many do not understand to whom or for what reasons thank is given. The majority of homes are decorated for fall, turkeys are cooked, and long, delicious meals are eaten.

November, the final month of the fall, goes off without a hitch. The winter starts to feel heavier as the yellowed leaves are completely shed. Walking on the streets is less enjoyable. November definitely has one snowfall. But the cold and snow of November are nothing when it's compared to the real winter that awaits Canada in January and February. Everyone is eagerly awaiting the arrival of Christmas, the only fun of the winter, as the streets are relatively quiet. After all, Christmas suddenly takes center stage in all the stores right after Thanksgiving. People begin thinking about their gifts and gradually shop for Christmas. A winter sleep starts after Christmas and lasts for several months.

And this familiar and lovable cycle repeats itself each year.
