Thursday, 9:00 AM.  48 degrees F at the ferry dock, 44 on the back porch.  Wind SW, mostly calm with occasional gusts.  The sky is clear, the humidity a low 48%,  The barometer is mostly steady, now at 29.99",  the highs will be around 70 until thunderstorms Saturday evening.
   The  fallen leaves are beginning litter the ground and some trees are already bare, but the soft beauty of the season continues; red, green, yellow and bronze punctuated here and there in the woods with the jack-o'-lantern orange of mountain maple leaves.

November Night

BY ADELAIDE CRAPSEY

Listen. . 

With faint dry sound, 

Like steps of passing ghosts, 

The leaves, frost-crisp'd, break from the trees 

And fall.
