Perky

Never postpone a good deed which you can do now, because death does not choose whether you have or haven't done the things you should have done. Death waits for nobody and nothing. It has neither enemies, nor friends. (Indian Wisdom in A Calendar of Wisdom by Leo Tolstoy, 12 March)

It's another beautiful fall day. This year the leaves aren't showing as much red as they have in the last couple of years. There's still plenty of color, all different shades of yellow, orange and brown with a little red thrown in for good measure.
