Racing to Thanksgiving

The wind was howling across the fields at 250 mph today.

Well, maybe it was 25 mph.

Multicolored leaves that had been piled for bagging were scattered in all directions. The riot of dried color tumbling across lawns made me think of children racing away from school at the end of the day - backpacks of red, brown, blue, and green bouncing on shoulders as the kids scatter toward all compass points.

I'll be doing my own racing - hurrying off to a vacation that will keep me away from internet, phones, e-mails, and voice mails for a while.

So I'll take this opportunity to wish everyone a HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

Look for a new post on December 1st.
