The fall month of October, in upper Algarve, is still warm but with cooling evenings and sunlight begins to fade earlier every day. The sky is still blue, if paler than yesterday's and has white strands of clouds near its horizon. Windless is this day but birds on the roof, have left their nests flown south, Africa I think, for a few month. They will be back in March have their chicks and make a lot of noise. The man from the forest has delivered winter wood, wrote him a check, gave him a whisky; so I'm ready for winter but secretly wish these peaceful days will stretch well into November.
