Day Off to Just Be

Here it is already Wednesday!  Mondays and Tuesdays are truly full with two yoga classes each day - plus my morning 1-hour meditation.  So, today is my "day off."  I'm still overcome with the beauty of this month.  The tree leaves are constantly drawing my eyes from one to the other.  There is a red maple on the dam with FOUR different colors of leaves on it!  Red, orange, yellow, green, and now BROWN!  It seems incredible even though I'm looking right at it!  There is an oak behind the Yogatorium that has one whole branch of brown leaves and the others are still yellows.  The dam is covered with a deep mat of leaves - so much so the tree roots that normally try to trip me up are buried. The view into the woods is becoming more open each day as the leaves fall.  Soon, we will be able to see deeply into the woods through the trees past the old outhouse even.  …….Yesterday workmen insulated the Cabin so it will be reasonably comfortable even in the winter months.  Always before it was so cold one might as well be outside sleeping on the porch!  The fire ants are still active - had to buy more powder yesterday at the co-op to try to clean them out of my monkey grass border - they have already done much damage to the root systems - may even have to replace some as time goes by.  You would think they would be happy enough with the grass areas, but this year they have invaded my  flower beds.  Enough.  As you can tell, this is truly my day off - a time to JUST BE!  Come try it sometime - this is a great place for such inactivity!
