IT AIN'T OVER 'TIL IT'S OVER

AUTUMN BLAZE RED MAPLE IN FRONT YARD

AMERICAN SMOKE TREE ON SOUTH SIDE OF HOUSE

VIEW FROM THE BACK PORCH
Wednesday, 9:00 AM,  39 degrees F at the ferry dock, 36 on the back porch.  Wind WSW, mostly calm with light gusts.  The sky is cloudy and overcast with occasional misty rain.  The humidity is 80%, the barometer steady, at 29.72".  Highs today will be in the high 40's, then dropping into the 30's with wind, rain and snow showers by Sunday.
   It is a dark, damp morning, but the remaining colors of fall brighten it none-the-less.  Maples, oaks and pines stand out against the dark clouds and dull  waters of the lake.  The red maples in the front yard still have lots of bright crimson leaves, and the American smoke tree lights up the south side of the house like a bonfire.
   Fall is like a baseball game; "it ain't over 'till it's over."
