JohnA: Deena and I took a long canoe trip on the placid waters of Lake CDA this afternoon. No people, no boats, no wind. Then we walked in the creek along our pasture, a Great Dane pup as our faithful companion and Stickman’s sturdy creations as our support. It simply doesn’t get any better than that. We are so blessed to live in God’s Country, and to share it with so very few. I’m always amazed on autumn days like this that no one else is around, except for the few bikers on the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes near Harrison. We had planned to go to Arizona this fall to enjoy an extended summer. Instead we chose to stay home, and boy, have we been rewarded. Autumn colors and no one around. As I said, how blessed we are.
Question: How would you describe your perfect fall day this year?
