I still have a boat in the lake. We had a warm and calm evening a few days ago so it seemed right to go for a little Fall ride on the lake. It is always nice to have the lake to yourself.
The brilliant Fall colors have been reduced to winter greys. A few ducks still paddled the shoreline. Many of the docks were hoisted into their off-season salute. No bugs. No buoys. No people.
And the lilypads are curling towards their winter rest.
