Rural bliss

What remarkable weather we had on Saturday! With the rain the night before, the Cheshire foxhunters didn't know whether they would be going out until almost the last minute (despite the mud and fog, they did). It was cloudy all morning, but then at about noon the clouds disappeared, the sun shone brightly and the temperature rose into the 50s. A glorious mid-winter day!

The fog reappeared as the sun went down. I was coming home through Willowdale a little after 5 p.m. and the dense low fog in the field along the east side of Route 82 reminded me of the end of the July 4 fireworks display, years ago when we had fireworks at Willowdale.
