Walking

Yesterday I had the opportunity to walk with a couple of friends. It was great. We walked about 3.5 miles along a river and saw deer, grey heron and had clear views of New Haven and Long Island Sound. The weather was perfect and the fall foliage has been really pretty. Then we went to a local brewery and met up with some others for happy hour. I selected a pumpkin spice hard cider- not much of a beer drinker- and it was delicious.

Fall

Have been busy with a bunch of weddings! Four in the fall. Wonderful celebrations. Been reading some. Our book group met to discuss Crying In H Mart, a memoir written by a Korean- American young woman who has musical ambitions. She takes a "leave" to care for her cancer ridden mother. It is a story of relationships, food, music and unerstanding. Everyone had read the book and seemed to like it despite its sadness. Our next book is The Night Watchman. The fall foliage this year is outstanding. I am so surprised as we had such a long period of drought during the summer. Glorious.

Currently I am reading Broken Horses by Brandi Carlisle. A bit of a struggle but it is interesting. Many reviews on Goodreads suggested listening to the audiobook because she sings many of the referenced songs. I need to finish and return to the library.
