When fall comes to the midwest


Happy October, all. We woke this morning to the first frost of fall, and for the first time ever I didn't lose any plants. Just a few leaves off a basil.

A brief return to graduate work is taking me away from my home (and nearly everything else), but at least I get to enjoy gorgeous crisp fall mornings like this.

Looks absolutely perfect. Enjoy the fruits of your labors.

Jeanne held forth

And you get to drive through those early morning fogs like I do.

Someday I want to see your house in person. (Perhaps I can deliver The Gone-Away World when you're done in December!)

Alison held forth

How is it possible you've never been here? OK, that's an oversight we need to fix, fast...

I have to admit I take a weird joy in watching the sun come up over Marengo.

Anonymous held forth

I've heard a rumor that mutual friends of yours will soon be in town... what better excuse?
