Heavy rain today... and the critters and birds are as hungry as ever.
We've decided to put out three small piles of seed on the deck railing so that there is not to much squabbling. Its comic to watch the bluejays dive-bomb the chipmunks and then watch the chipmunks take a running charge at the bluejays... all part of the rich tapestry.

The deepening reds and golds of the fall have begun to spread more widely now and it won't be long before leaf fall is complete.

So, today, in-between meetings with students and entering data about absences and make-up work and upcoming graduation and writing emails informing the students about all the upcoming events next weekend...between all of these things...this is where my mind went.

It went to kayaking.

Ever since our time at Long Lake and my first experience in one of these, I have longed to go again. To float out across the water in a silent and calming manner. Perhaps this is the exercise for me in this season, which is so full of chatter and busyness and an inability to deeply rest.

Or...maybe I have happened upon my next passion...

I truly hope that this is the case.
