Enjoying the Outdoors

While Stucco was away this past weekend, Z. and A. and I decided to make our way to one of our favorite parks on the water. The air was fresh and full of the last bit of fog being burned away by the sun. It is a wonderful thing, once again, to be surrounded by maples, sycamores, oaks etc. Their brilliant colors surround us this autumn. One of my favorite smells I remember from childhood is all around me. The smell of freshly fallen leaves that have been dampened by the rain.
