Day Forty-Five


The countryside rushed by me: autumn fields of stubble, burning piles of leaves, and bare trees bursting into bright orange blossoms.  The trees I saw as I rode in the car were mainly bare, but a few had new green leaves.

In the city I surprised a visiting lady who had written to me.  She had not thought I would be able to get away to the city to come see her.

The next day, before sunrise, I set out on the trip home.  I saw the sun rise through the trees, red and lovely.

The day went quickly and I reached home before sundown.  The dogs and cat seemed happy to see me.    My landlord's housekeeper helped me clean the house.
