Although I have *lost* my Galahad and still live in dread of what might happen to my home, (*Invaders* STILL coming to poke and prod this week..), I have opted to take a few days off from the Opera as my emotional/physical *gas tank* was on empty. Indian Summer has arrived...and it is slowly helping to restore my strength and faith in well....everything. Chris and Bofie came through the *Superstorm* relatively unscathed...although the police did knock on their door and tell them to evacuate. They live in a building about 100 yards from the Hudson... the water came up to the windows of the first floor of the building (they are on the second)...and they didn't lose power. I was relived to learn my American *Sisters* - Lo, Suki and Mim all came through it... but, a lot of work needs to be done for those less fortunate...so many are now homeless and helpless...please give what you can. This is a HUGE catastrophe.
I spent the last two days walking amid Nature....what this girl needs to help give her strength. Here are some photos to share with you.
Saturday's Hike
Part of the Presidio has been *beautified*...this means chopping down hundreds of trees to make way for flattened paths for more people (less hikers - like Moi)! I was relieved to see the old *Wishing Well* had been left intact!

| Saw this lovely little one....does anyone know what species he is? (Lisa?CS?) I shot this off-centre on purpose...just liked the dimension.. |
 |
| Not photo-shopped...this one red-orange leaf with the sun glinting off of it...pure magic! |
Sunday's Hike
To Stow Lake
 |
| Muscovy Ducks! I love them... a year ago, there was only one....this big fellow.. |
But now, he has been joined by six others...including 2 babies....( we believe they were abandoned here in the Lake...but thankfully, all are thriving and healthy).

| Yummy! |
I send you all warm, loving Autumnal Hugs...stay safe, keep those less fortunate in your hearts and prayers...and donate what you can.
Love,
♥ Robin ♥
