Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

My husband and I took a long walk in the fall sunshine today. The leaves are gold and red and falling now. The persimmon tree in our backyard is dropping huge golden leaves. My eyes are much better and we're thinking of gifts for the holidays and foods to prepare. Our youngest grandson trick or treated with skeleton pjs on, the second youngest was a caterpillar for a second year, the third was a vampire, and the fourth a cat for the second year in a row. I have no idea what my teenage granddaughter did, and will have to beg for a photo I guess. I've already put up Thanksgiving decorations and put away Halloween ones. Today I found a huge persimmon in the yard, and when it ripens, what a treat! My husband doesn't like them, but I am a big fan. I used to make persimmon bread and pudding but there is no one to eat it. There are lots of sugary challenges for a diabetic this time of year, but I control myself. But gee, a piece of pumpkin pie sure would be nice.
