Good Chilly Morning ~ Friends & Folk ~ it finally feels more like November today ~ temps in the low 40's, crisp air & sunshine…perfect. days like this usually find me outside taking a walk to charge up my energies ~ fill my lungs with fresh air, and my brain with inspiration! I love to visit the smaller pine saplings in our woods on my walks. I check their progress and give them encouragement to grow tall & strong…but one sapling will always be chosen to come celebrate the Season with us…
