Another golden autumn day.  Winter still seems far off, although  two years  ago we had a snow storm at Halloween. And of course last year was Sandy, another mess. Not so bad here in the Hudson Valley, we are far enough from the coast.

But still it did some damage.


For weeks it has been mild and for the most part sunny. It has been a good gardening season. And  I am fortunate enough to have been outdoors for much of every day.
