FALLEN SUNSHINE

LEAVES ARE FALLEN SUNSHINE...

... AS PRETTY ON THE GROUND AS ON THE TREE

A SOFT FALL EVENING
Sunday, 8:30 AM.  41 degrees F at the ferry dock, 33 on the back porch at dawn.  Wind SW, mostly calm with a few light to moderate gusts.  The sky is mostly cloudy.  The humidity is 82% and the barometer is headed down, currently at 29.93".  It appears we have a strong low pushing in from the SW, but it evidently carries little moisture.
   Leaves are falling fast now, and  one's mood becomes more reflective as the riot of fall colors becomes increasingly subdued.


November Night

BY ADELAIDE CRAPSEY
Listen. .
With faint dry sound,
Like steps of passing ghosts,
The leaves, frost-crisp'd, break from the trees
And fall.
