Day 859: Leaves emerge


Finally!  Leaves are beginning to emerge along the creek.  
At Kate's house on the lake, just three miles away, there is no sign of green yet.
I got to spend several hours mowing and raking since we had the warmest day since Oct. 12!  
76 degrees!  It was fabulous, but it's not going to last.  The forecast for Quest is 52 degrees.  


On the corner of Forest and Barker Streets, stands one of the most beautiful magnolia trees.


I was so happy that book club met tonight at Kate's for great conversation with old friends.  It was a relief to escape from backpacking chores and parent phone calls.   We discussed the book The Husband's Secret which was about a man who kept a terrible secret for most of his life and when the secret is revealed, it unravels the lives of his family and several other families.    It prompted a rousing discussion.
