INDIAN SUMMER

We have been having two weeks of the most beautiful weather; each day more glorious than the last as the fall colors bloom against the backdrop of deep blue sky and dark pine green. Fall is my favorite season anyway, but when we get an Indian Summer like this one it is impossible to beat anywhere. The bugs are gone, the humidity is gone, the tourists are gone, the days are warm, the nights are crisp and cool.

Days like this make it difficult to get work done indoors -- the kids are doing their school work outside at the picnic table even as I write this. I have an overwhelming urge to take off into the big timber just to walk and soak up the sights, smells and sounds of this time of the year...
