Old Friends and Halloween

 This past Thursday, I traveled to meet old friends in Aruandville, La to partake of a local chef down in the lower Country.  We have known each other for over 45 years. It was good to see the other two; each of us had traveled a little bit of a distance, meeting up in the middle. 

As I was on my daily walk, I came across a yard in the neighborhood that is always dressed for the season, sometimes, as this year, a little bit early.  Here is a photo of their yard.

This Morning

 This morning, I woke up, walked out onto the front screen porch, and was met with a brief burst of cool air at 72 degrees. It was a pleasant relief to feel that burst, then the rain came... which is also welcomed. 

I dare say that Fall has arrived here; however, it's nice to think that it might be on its way.
