Today is a nippy day, with very slight winds and beautiful colors in the leaves, many of which are still grasping their branches. We had planned to go to the Apple Store today to have some conferences about our Macs, but instead we decided to stay home and enjoy a day of rest and repose. A while ago, we sat together and read some pages from a wonderful novel by James Stephens, called “A Crock of Gold”. It was a wonderful reading session, during which the book became more and more interesting as the pages passed by, something that often happens to all readers, I’m sure. Now, at 2:30, Delycia is outside putting some of the garden to sleep for the winter months, and I am sitting comfortably on the couch in front of our wide window, enjoying some classical music and letting the minutes pass by slowly and gently.
