autumn sunshine

“I cannot endure to waste anything as precious

as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. . ."

–Nathaniel Hawthorne

Today it rained - a steady, cold rain from a sullen, grey, November sky.

But yesterday? And the day before?

The sun shone golden and I was of the same mind as Nathaniel Hawthorne.

No indoors for me.

Wandering beaches and fields and country lanes in the November sunshine - just about a perfect way to spend a late autumn afternoon!
