Green and Gold

We waited until nearly noon today to drive to the woods as there was a heavy frost and the roads looked dodgy. Siofra nearly went doo-lally waiting to go, so she was predictably exuberant (bat-shit crazy) when she was let loose. 
At the moment the woods are a mix of golden and brown leaves, long fallen and decayed as well as fresh, waking greenery peeking through.
