Reflected Glory.

10-11-08 VERMONT: Happy birthday, Alison. Imagine having your birthday in the midst of all this color. Here’s a red maple.

Even Chloe is impressed.

I forgot to mention some flowers still hanging on: hosta, geranium, centaurea, bleeding heart. Yesterday I started pulling out plant supports and garden border guards. Today I straightened out the barn ramp and lifted it up to the level of the barn floor and adjusted the barn door rollers and finished up with a little more weed wacking.

Today was just beautiful. The sky was cloudless from Gile to Lafayette and was the deepest blue. It was warm enough to work in shirt sleeves but not too hot. The only distraction was the color, back lit, front lit, side lit—I almost had to work with my eyes closed.
