Chilly NIghts.

9-20-11 SHORT HILLS: We both drove down Sunday through moderately heavy traffic. The yard is finally drying out here, but it’s supposed to rain for the next several days—more mud on the way.

The last two night in VT were cold. The temperatures were down in the mid-thirties. We didn’t get a frost, but a few of the low lying more northerly spots did. Even in NJ, it was in the forties.

I mis-dated the last post as the 17th instead of the 16th, sorry, I hope no one was misled. Tell me you didn’t miss a wedding or funeral, if that’s not attributing way too much importance to my postings.

In bloom: hosta, rose-of-sharon, lamium, roses, butterfly bush.


Early fall color in NH. Every year a few early trees lead to the assumption that it will be an early fall, but the main event is always at the same time, just after Columbus Day, at least in the mid-upper Connecticut valley.
