Even in winter, the wood whispers to tramp its paths. Its Sprites and Woodwose may sleep through days demanding our heaviest coats, but its mysteries do not. Bare branches scratch the low sky and still its mysteries sing. We walk for wonder. We walk for cold magics. – #EmilyCBanting, 1981

Random question:
Do you use "grey" or "gray"?
I went down a reddit rabbit hole this morning ( www.reddit.com/r/grammar/s/... ) &
· While there is a US "preferred spelling" of "gray", use seems to be all over the place.
· It's "grey", full stop, in other English-speaking areas.

I'm just old enough that my parents had a tradition of listening to this (first on tape, then on CD) on the drive to my grandparents' house every Thanksgiving.
Like a scratch that needs itching, I began playing it for my own kids (first CD, then streaming) on the drive to my Mom's each Tday.

It's a 6/10 Sunday in the DMV -- plenty of sun and rather mild, but consistently gusty.
🚩 The gusty winds and low humidity have prompted a Red Flag Warning for most of the DC region today due to risk of rapid fire spread.
