One good thing about walking is you have the time to take in the details of your surroundings. One of the trails I like to use goes by certain trees that I know will be a visual marvel. Maybe in a different age, I'd be considered a hippie nature lover, sort of a Jerry Garcia type. There is this one tree that each October turns a brilliant red. I don't know its name, but I know it's the best of the colorful bunch. So, I always keep an eye on it, anticipating its explosion of red. But it only lasts for a few days, so I have to look fast. And I always do. I don't know who owns the tree, but my hope is they don't take a notion to cut it down. That would be a shame.

Okay, I hope to have some updates to announce about the status of my several new books sometime in the next week or so. They've certainly been keeping me plenty busy. This morning I was up at 3:30 a.m., only because I accidentally set my clock ahead by one hour! Dumb. Anyway, I did get a lot accomplished during those quiet wee hours.

Is it just me, or is the autumn foilage especially crisp and vivid this year for some reason? I have several trees I like to look at during my a.m. camel trot (a.k.a. jog). One tree that reminds me of a persimmon (but it has no fruit) turns a firetruck red. The rain and wind, however, may strip off its leaves before I get back to see them again. I better go now.

Happy reading to you and yours!
