My prayers for sunny fall to continue until the shadow of death is lifted from me continues. This morning I was not so sure, as it was cloudy and chilly. However, around noon the sun came out and all was well.

My wife, Pat, and I took a bike ride on the Oak Leaf Bike Trail that runs near out house through Doyne County Park. With the leaves turning and falling the ride was not only healthy for exercise and beautiful to the eyes, but uplifting to the spirit.

The bike trail, Oak Leaf, winds around the city. In the spring I call it the Grape Leaf trail due to all the grape leaf vines that line it. However, in the fall it definitely is the Oak Leaf Trail.

When I came home I went out to the street in front of the house to rake up leaves for use on the compost pile in the back. The leaves with coffee grounds, I picked up this morning behind a coffee shop, will make for some good compost during the winter for spring.

Bike riding, like gardening outside, will take a rest in the cold of the winter. But for now darkness of winter will need to wait. We still can ride into the fall.
