Leaves of Absence

I'm almost over this lingering, not quite ready for prime time flu thing. Still a little congested, but I went ahead and did my voice post for read_lotr_aloud here and here. And I got a lovely Paris post card from Frodo, Sam, and frodosweetstuff--thank you, you three! In other health news, I'm crossing my fingers that I just had menopause when I went through constant hot flashes the other week, because so far so good about period not showing up this week. If that was it, that would be so awesome--somehow I don't think I'll be let off that easy, though. On to the pretty trees . . .


Remember, you can click on any pic for embiggenment. Here's your sugar maple straight up, the colors all a memory now.
