Traveling through the rolling hills of Pennsylvania
soon after dawn on this sunny autumn morning
the hills look wrapped in blankets of soft velvet.
Mist is rising in the valleys
In sharp contrast to this veiled distant view
a lake shines brilliant blue and
rippling rivers glisten in bright sun.
The day is mild.
Rock cliffs edge the road
where the highway was cut through
their faces, wet with dew, reflect the sun
like giant coal black mirrors to the world.
The trees and hills nearby will not be muted
their colors joyful, many leaves still holding on
though countless branches are already bare
- soon to be blanketed with winter snow.

I ran across this memory of our last road trip the other day. Such wonderful days. Never dreaming they would suddenly end just a few short weeks later!
