AUTUMN STILL A GRAND LADY!

Autumn marked her arrival with an "I'm glad to be alive" kind of day!  Temperatures were where they belonged, high 60s, low 70s.  Clear skies and little or no humidity brought bikers, walkers, joggers, people pushing strollers with infants, still more skipping behind were out in force.

Jackets were off, some shorts still prevailed, and cars rolled down  windows to reveal more children, some guys and dolls and lots of picnic baskets for those headed for the country.  Dogs, pedigree and rescue alike were eager to give their handlers a run for their money.

Every once in a while a tree showed a red leaf as if to say, watch these branches, we are about to show you some brilliant color.  Flower beds were turning golden with new plantings and meals were eaten out of doors.

Autumn provides us with a lazy yet energetic, colorful pace and a time for reflection all her own. We hope this Grand Lady will be as kind and gracious  to river, land and sea in the months ahead.
