The mornings start cold now, but then the noontime sun burns off the fog over the mountain to reveal the trees with their hues of yellow, red, orange and infinite shades in between. There\u2019s so much going on in the world right now, so much uncertainty on both a big scale and in every day life, my head is spinning. Fall is all about change. So without knowing what\u2019s ahead, today I sit in the sun and embrace the beauty of what we have right now, and the promise of things to come. This week, we have music from the Echo Women\u2019s Choir, the Arrowsmith:Robb Trio, Andrew VanNorstrand, Live Wire, and Jeremiah McLane. Margaret Youngberg reads a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay, Julie reads a poem by Susan Reid, and Ben Williams reads a poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Take care, everyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Episode Notes<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>1. Everything Will Be Alright &#8211; &nbsp;Echo Women&#8217;s Choir (Toronto, ON).
