October Days in the Hill Country
Poetic panorama of a hill country day from predawn to night. Describes dawn light over eastern mountains, frost on cottages, birds and wildlife in October fields, harvest activity, and the sun's warmth giving way to twilight. Ends with stars shining as night envelops the landscape.
