Last Saturday in High Park we
enjoyed the colors and fresh air of the Fall season. We did our usual loop
through the wooded area, through the zoo, and then down the hill to the
lakeshore. As we approached the wooded area before descending down onto the
path, Laurel noticed an intriguing phenomenon which she pointed out to the rest
of us – the trees were “raining”. There was so much water in the upper leaves
of the trees that when a slight breeze stirred up the leaves they actually
created a mini-rainfall cascading down in a gentle stream. There was a slight
fog drifting upward, making everything seem almost surreal.
As always conversation with
various TPW members covered various topics from health and fitness, to plans
for the Thanksgiving weekend, to upcoming marathons. We walked various
distances and met as usual for breakfast where the topic focused on favorite
television shows and the benefits vs. the disadvantages of downloading vs.
recording shows! We all left in a festive mood, happy for the long weekend
ahead of us.
