I can bemoan the quick passing of summer, but I won’t as there isn’t much I can do about it. It’s been a rainy summer but I am hopeful come the autumn things will change. This weekend I’m getting one more weekend up at Piseco-Powley before the summer is done, and I am hopeful in two weeks to be up at the Spectulator Tree Farm to close out the summer.

Then onwards to the autumn months. The biggest change is not the cooler temperatures, but the decline in daylight. It makes it difficult to travel very far on a Friday night unless I choose to drive after dark or leave work early. But soon the woods will be full of color, especially in the Adirondacks, and with hot cups of coffee in the morning to get started and chilly nights by the fire.
