Sometimes the invitation is just too strong. I can hear the rapid-running creek … the birds are raucous … the temperature is cool and crisp, and the air clean and refreshing.

And, behold, there’s a relatively level location just over there … and just beyond is the creek. Oh my!

Ah yes, a cottage in the woods. There is a lot of water coursing down the mountain, a very noisy creek indeed.

A day of rest for sure!
