Things to do in the fall

[Lake]

Roll up the garden hose, turn off air conditioning.
Hear rain drops knocking on maple leaves all evening.
Watch crows swooping, squabbling in the air.
Walk to the horticultural garden up the hill where
chrysanthemums bloom their best blossoms they ever bloomed.
Making a long distance call on Mid-Autumn Festival
even though dim the moon, starless the night.
Lotus cakes and jasmine tea arranged on the table.
Light pumpkin lanterns, and chat with neighbors
by the bonfire, listening to the burning firewood.
Jogging along Mississippi, watching the changing leaves in the sunset.
Geese viewing, deer hunting.
Dried dog-poop picked up before raking fallen leaves.
Dead branches, and budless shrubs trimmed.
Do stretches and sit-ups.
Take a Taiji class, practice breathing in and breathing out. Repeat,
till you do it naturally.
Cook a big pot of soup to nourish wrinkled skin and squeaky bones.
Take a walk in the woods, choose a road
less traveled by, to find all paths lead to the Way at last.
Go out make new friends or shut October snow outside,
reading alone with Gary Snyder
Mountains and Rivers
Without
End


(Tell me this is a list. )

是啊，还雨雪呢。十月已经下过两场了。 不过，这雪太性急了点，都夭折了。
在这可以看到许多人看不到的各式各样的雪。Guess!


问好戴玨。
