Earth, Wind, and Fire

                           Autumn's glory - the weaver's colors unfold in patterns of red and gold. 
                                           Like flames of fire whispering of things untold...
                       

             Welcome October!  It's been a good week on the water.  The recreational paddlers are putting their boats away for the season.  I will miss them, and look forward to their return in the spring. They bring gaiety and diversity to the waters.  This morning was cool and the pogies would have been welcome - had I not left them in the car.  The evenings this week have entertained with brilliant skies that look like wild fires - except Thursday which brought brisk winds instead.  Fun to play in the waves, but requiring assistance to load the boat.  The promise of winter is in the air though; the birds and squirrels are making their winter plans.  Perhaps I'd better get my skiis over to Ron for waxing now......
