Sun with no clouds, sixty-three degrees and a light breeze.\u00a0 Well, you can\u2019t stay in on a day like that.\u00a0 Camera Girl and I took a walk in the woods today.\u00a0 We haven\u2019t since September.\u00a0 It was quiet.\u00a0 Then we saw why.\u00a0 The streams that came off of the big lake had dried up.\u00a0 The spillway from the lake was dry.\u00a0 November hasn\u2019t been completely without rain but the number of heavy rain days has drastically lowered from previous months.\u00a0 So, it was quiet and that was fine.\u00a0 Sun filtered more easily through the trees with only the conifers green.\u00a0 We talked about the menu for Thanksgiving and we talked about leaves to be raked.\u00a0 We noticed that none of the few people in the forest we met wore masks and I said that was a good sign.\u00a0 She told me that very few people in the supermarket wore masks and most of those were elderly.\u00a0 And I said that sounds good.\u00a0 But before we knew it we were back at the car.\u00a0 Just a short hour\u2019s walk, up and down a few hills in the woods.\u00a0 But it was a fitting tribute to God for gifting us a day this bright and warm, a week before Thanksgiving in New England.<\/p>\n

AUTUMN (by Aleksandr Pushkin) (translated by Peter France<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\u2026<\/p>\n

A mournful time of year! Its sad enchantment<\/p>\n

flatters my vision with a parting grace –<\/p>\n

I love the sumptuous glow of fading nature,<\/p>\n

the forests clad in crimson and in gold,<\/p>\n

the shady coolness and the wind’s dull roaring,<\/p>\n

the heavens all shrouded in a billowing mist<\/p>\n

and the rare gleams of sun, the early hoarfrosts,<\/p>\n

and distant grey-beard winter’s gloomy portents.<\/p>\n

\u2026<\/p>\n
