Whining in Paradise<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n
After two weeks on St. Simons, I\u2019m back at Potlatch just in time for the fall finale of crisp weather and color. The solitude here is striking especially after surviving the revelry of the Georgia-Florida fans this past weekend on the island.<\/p>\n
This has always been my favorite season, the last hurrah before the winter months. It\u2019s time to put an extra blanket on the bed, winterize outbuildings and enjoy the Indian summer before the dog\u2019s water pail begins to freeze. I look forward to walking in the woods and building bonfires in the late afternoon.<\/p>\n
Being here seems so very far from the warm weather and bustling lifestyle of St. Simons Island as well as from the troubles of politics and the world. As I\u2019ve written before, the news is depressing, making me want to take refuge here far from the madding crowd.<\/p>\n
