Indian Summer along the Highline Canal

We've been blessed this weekend with gorgeous Indian Summer weather. The mid-morning stroll along the Highline Canal was absolutely fantastic ... the cottonwoods were resplendent in their fall outfits with a symphony of rustling leaves providing appropriate accompaniment.

Current forecasts call for unsettled weather in a couple of days, quite possibly bringing the season's first snowfall by Wednesday. Hopefully the weather doesn't affect my travel plans as I leave Wednesday for Cairo (by way of Salt Lake City and Paris.)

As I write this post, I have a slide show of pictures taken from today's walk playing in the background ... as is Schubert's Trout (courtesy of Danish internet radio) ... even as the late afternoon sun streams through the room's window. Moments like these, it's hard not to feel blessed!

Twas a good short visit by Aimee. Mother and daughter spent a lot of time together with no fighting and no biting!! It was the first time in a long time that the entire family was together - Cyn home for the weekend from Bentonville and Aimee from NY. It was also the first time that I can remember where our lunchtime (at Sonoda's) conversation focused on politics. As a family we're all on the same page. Aimee heads back to NY tomorrow.
