Last Tuesday, November 1, was a German holiday (All Saint's Day), which meant I had the day off to sleep in, relax, and get a lot done. Yes, I was able to accomplish all of these things! Sounds oxymoronic, doesn't it? I slept in (for me) until 8, and cleaned up my apartment while listening to music. But the sun was too inviting to stay inside. I gathered up my hammock, a book, and my ukulele and walked a short ways into the Black Forest. I spent several hours there reading, singing, praying, and resting in the beauty of God's creation. I don't know that I recall a warmer November 1st! Finally, the late afternoon chill began to sink in, and I dropped off my accessories at home, and began to walk. There are so many different paths to explore! I walked up to the town of Tannenkirch, on the crest of a hill from which I could see the faraway Alps. (They don't show up in photographs, or I would share the beauty.) Please enjoy these glimpses of Autumn here in the Black Forest:
