October and already the leaves are fading away in the Adirondacks. 🍂 Most shocking to me is that we are less then a month away from November, which in many ways should be a sigh of relief with the craziness of work and with the deep blue skies and crisp days of that month.

Phil Ochs – No Christmas in Kentucky

|

"Let's drink a toast to congress and a toast to Santa Claus, and a toast to all the speeches that bring the loud applause, there's not enough to give, no, there's not enough to share, so, let's drown the sounds of sorrow with a hearty Christmas cheer ...

"No, they don't have Christmas in Kentucky, there's no holly on a West Virginia door, for the trees don't twinkle when you're hungry, and the jingle bells don't jingle when you're poor ...

"Have a merry, merry Christmas and a happy new year's day, for now's a time of plenty and plenty's here to stay, but if you knew what Christmas was, I think that you would find, that Christ is spending Christmas in the cold Kentucky mine."

Heading Up to Spectulator on NY 30

Quiet section of NY 30 along the Main Branch of Sacadaga River, past Auger Falls. Some of this land is forest preserve, some of it's private timber lands.
