Miss Daisy, Henry Hoover and I were walking down the Trans Canada Trail, the portion just south of the cemetery. To our left was the still gently flowing river, slowed by sundry beaver dams, and a dull green color. Underfoot were crushed acorns, to the right a few chokecherries, glowing burgundy red against the fading foliage. As we rounded the curve, a wave of cool, moist air rose to greet us, and then, a few steps further, out in the open, the air was once again warm and dry. The scents of the fall were rich and intoxicating. In the west was the beginning of another sunset. Rosy hues and golden streaks, perfection.
