It was an odd day filled with more of that inertia. I did do some writing and preparation for another report, but my heart wasn't in it -- or much else for that matter. I woke to a gorgeous golden-orange glow out my window. The large maple (one of two) on the front lawn seems to be in peak colour. It looks very golden with tips and some branches that hold more orange and red. Technically, each leaf has bits of all those colours -- just some are predominantly gold and others move into the red hues. It is gorgeous <smile> Walking out the driveway today was enjoyable -- the leaves are dry and make that wondrous rustling noise as you walk through them. The sun was strong again today and the temperature climbed into the high teens (60s) with tomorrow to be over 20C (into 70s). It seems that this is similar to this time last year, though it also seems out of character for autumn. Given that the past few days didn't get into double digit highs, today was quite unexpected.
A song line seemed to fit the feeling of walking under the maple tree -- looking up and looking down at the amazing colour -- a great place to rest. This song is by a Canadian troubadour. Enjoy!
Hi'way Song -- Gordon Lightfoot
