The drastic change in weather brought about our first snow yesterday and a 16 degree commute to work this morning. The skin on my fingers is already dry and cracking. My yellow rose bush which yielded three new blooms this past weekend is now supporting limp and shriveled petals today. Ah, autumn in Chicago!
We'd make our annual trek down to Turkey Run State Park in Indiana about this time each year. Actually, we would head down the day after Thanksgiving and spend the rest of the weekend hiking the trails on the other side of Sugar Creek. A buffet breakfast in the park and dinner at the Pizza Hut. I heard Supertramp this morning on the radio and it brought these memories to mind. Steven falling off of the cliff. The wrestling matches between Jim, Phil and Kevin in the cabin. Non's first hiking experience. Covered bridge festivals and icy creeks. Just being together and laughing out loud.
