BEFORE THE FIRST FROST

A few days ago Rick and I made our annual before-the-first-frost trip to our camp.  It was a gorgeous October afternoon . . .   my favorite time of year in the woods.
 I like to see how high the pine trees have grown since Rick planted them 15 years ago.
 Crossing the river requires dodging a few rocks.  (And yes, okay, we did get stuck once. . . or twice.)
 But neither one of us minded.  We were having too much fun . . . 
watching sun light up the woods. . .  watching it shimmer on the water.
 Taking in deep breaths of clean mountain air and re-connecting with the natural world around us.
