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:
What are some of your favorite Autumnal outdoor activities?

I,too, like to walk or ride and take photos of the blazing fall leaves. How about apple picking? Haven't done that this year:(
