Fall Color.

10-8-07 VERMONT: The color is improving, but we go back to NJ tomorrow. We had Bob and Chris for the weekend and sent them back to South Orange tired but happy. We took them to the Norwich Farmers Market, Pomfret, Woodstock, Barnard, Strafford, Stone Soup and Thetford seeing the sights and leaves.

The first few days here were warm, but now it’s rainy and cold. Actually we had another 1.2 inches of rain the last couple days. I blew the leaves yesterday. It was quite a job. [Make your own puns.] Today we put away all the benches, the boat, the hammock, the rockers, the hoses, and I put up the storm doors. We also got in a visit to Charles McL. and the Koreys.

We have new neighbors. Judy saw them out for a walk on the road, and then we visited them back in their barn.

All the colors look richer in the Fall. I think the lower sun angle accentuates the red end of the spectrum—more of the blue light is reflected off the atmosphere—like the sunset.

No new blooms.
