no supper

so we drove into the mountains

 and it was cold

 and the late day light 

picked out bits of brilliant color

 and then in the distance

 the mountains took on a decidedly 

stunning appearance

 i haven't seen the adirondacks

look so amazing in ages

new snow on the high peaks

in the distance 

but sadness at our goal:

saranac lake and casa del sol,

my favorite restaurant,

has closed.

i first went there over thirty years ago,

i took my kids when they were babies and

celebrated many special days there

end of an era.
