Not in the woods but I am outdoors. 68? in mid-November! That doesn't 
happen often. Guys are riding their motorcycles. I would if I hadn't 
already set mine up for winter storage and piled lots of yard stuff around 
it. Instead I'm moving crushed stone in a wheelbarrow, filling the grooves 
that rain has created under the eves of the house. I'll spend the afternoon 
on other outside chores and (if I have time) take a walk. I've lots of 
indoor work to do but it can wait for a chilly day. Days like this are to 
precious to miss.
