The first big storm of the season blew through last night, carpeting the yards and roads with cedar, fir needles, big-leaf maple leaves, and small branches. I spent this morning curled up in the lazyboy in front of the fire, with cat in lap, watching the rain and fog. I am quite ready for hibernation time.
Earlier this week Lucie, Kathy, and I went for a day hike to Lake 22, just off the Mountain Loop Highway near Verlot. We had a perfect fall day and even some sunshine.
