Figs and Roses

Happy October, everybody. Or should I say Rocktober! We’ve been so busy of late I missed mentioning some important markers of the change of season. So, happy fall equinox. Happy harvest moon. Happy birthday Martin!

This may be the mildest September I can remember since leaving California. We haven’t turned our heat on yet; we haven’t even taken our air conditioner out of the window yet. But now there’s more darkness than daylight. Pretty soon I’ll have to stop going rollerblading after work. I guess the good news I tend to do much more origami in the winter.

Almost at end for the yard and garden too, apart from the copious raking in the weeks ahead. The first leaves are just starting to fall. Our new grass has come in nicely. Our fig tree’s best year yet.
