The Juncos are back. And the heat has just started coming up through the radiators.

CARAMEL APPLES!! A fall family tradition for my house!

penetrating cold and wet.

I can hear geese right now passing overhead.

My long underwear is in the dryer and I'm starting to think that a charge on my credit card for enough outdoor gear to not-die in the forest might be preferable to a charge on my credit card for not-particularly-wanted entertainment products designed to dispose of the surplus lives of surplus couch sitters.

Also, I bought bondo; don't want those rust spots getting worse and everything getting wet when the rains start. Tossed a cute steering wheel cover in the cart while I was at it to admit that my transportation doubles as a shelter and I like my shelters to be comfortable and homey and appeal to my own aesthetics.

Three Pine Siskins down by the river this afternoon.

There are more leaves on the ground than in the trees.

A Ruby-crowned Kinglet in the three-foot-tall bush right beside my front doorstep.

Very good fall this year. Very vibrant leaf colors. Lots of blazing red.

It is Halloween.

Had to get out my cold-weather pants today.

dark, gray gloom. early nightfall. cold. damp.

Talk on the local police radio tonight warning of ice on the roadways.

The days get colder and the nights get longer.

Columbus day, Veteran's day, Thanksgiving, Chanukah, Kwanzaa and Xmas having come up or coming up soon.

Colder weather and it's getting darker earlier.
