A Walk Today

Short notes from slow walks.

Fog over the reservoir

Left before sunrise. The water was invisible for the first mile, only the sound of geese somewhere to the left. By eight the fog lifted all at once, like someone pulled a sheet off the hills.

The long way to the market

Took the creek path instead of the main road. Twice as long, half as loud. Found a bench someone has been quietly repainting green every year.

First cold morning

Gloves for the first time since March. The maples on the north side are already turning; the south side has not heard the news yet.
