A stunningly beautiful day!

This October takes the cake for beautiful months.  There are still some leaves hanging around, though most are gone.  The air this morning was crisp - about 55 when I set out for my run.  Ran down to Hamel and back and a littler farther - enough to make 5 miles.  Everywhere I looked there was something beautiful to see in nature:  from wooly worms to very sluggish grasshoppers (surely both on their last legs), a horse and a goat and some sheep grazing amid the brown grass, two beautiful cows that our neighbors have just put in their pasture, the blue sky with a pattern of puffy cloud, the empty fields and the sun shining bright.  Very nice!
