A SPECIAL FEELING-THE WEEKENDER

DOES IT WORK ON YOU?
     It was a late autumn afternoon when mom told me to put on a jacket and my tennis shoes.  She said we were going for a walk, one I'll never forget.
     I was a typical pre-teen boy, interested only in basketball and football and never seemed to see much else in the world.  On this afternoon we walked to a city park, full of oaks, elms, maples and sycamores.  It is the first time I remember seeing leaves afire in oranges, reds, yellows and rust.  Honestly, never noticed the colors before, at least not in a way that registered.  Sure I remember raking dry old brown and crisp leaves and building leaf forts, but on this particular afternoon my world gained a sense of color.
    I still enjoy the color and again this year our drive took us to the eastern slope of the high Sierra.













A MELLOW WEEKENDER
VIDEO DOUBLE PLAY
   Here are a couple of versions you may not be familiar with, but they will provide you with a quarter hour of memories.
   First the incredible Eva Cassidy illustrated by the paintings of Leonid Afremov. 
    And the styling of Eric Clapton
   Happy leaf hunting.
   See you down the trail.
