To my regular blog readers here at Traveling Chariot: In addition to my blogging here of travel, art, and my Missouri adventures, I will maintain a blog at www.emerald-post.blogspot.com for things related to Emerald Post and Ireland.

Paths to Winter

Daylight hours are waning though the sun is still quite warm. We have crossed the threshold from light to dark, from summer to winter, we are well on our way. The monarch and I are soaking up the still warm sun for sustenance, she for her long journey south, me for my long journey into winter's short days & cold nights.
