October 3
The first crystal clear morning after days of blue mist is like music after a long silence. Even the cool air does not dampen the spirits of domestic animals and those that live in the woods.
A young bobcat in prime coat wanders along a rock ledge in fall in full view but unaware of interested eyes. No doubt he hunts for field mice and that explains why the barn cats have stayed so close to home.
We have not felt the extreames of oncoming winter, but time will insure it. Meantime, adjust, adjust. Don't be taken by surprise. Prepare for change and the unexpected within change.
Our people possessed remarkable powers of concenreation . . . and I sometimes fancy that such meaness to nature . . . keeps (us) in touch with unseen powers.
