Cooler days - get outdoors!

This morning's walk was fruitful--picked a bright yellow muscadine vine leaf and brilliant red honeylocust which actually has a few green leaflets among the red ones - I've hung a stretched canvas over my table and pin my fall walk gems to it. First I press them between paper napkins (don't take the newspaper anymore) with a couple of books weighting them down. Of course, the colors fade, but I find new ones to replace the faded ones and move on. I love the changing collage I'm creating. October is almost here - my very favorite month. Already the mornings are a bit cooler and soon the whole day will be more comfortable. It is the best time of the year for outdoor life. If you don't have a handy place to be outdoors, come to the Pond. Feel free to walk around anywhere you like on the 53 acres - the pasture land or the forested area. It's a great place to just BE for a few hours or even overnight.
