Autumn here is not as spectacular as in other places, but it is nice that it lasts so long. Some trees have now lost their leaves, but other species, such as maples, are peaking. Yesterday I enjoyed a long drive to the hills west of the city. I drove through Paradise Valley and then past the Chesbro Reservoir and returned to town via Willow Springs Road, enjoying the glorious sunshine.
Long rides at an easy pace, like this one, feel like they’re good for my leaky heart valve, or at least relaxing. I won’t give them up unless my cardiologist convinces me too, but I’m pretty sure he’ll agree.
