Yesterdays cold monsoon was replaced with beautiful sunshine. Thank you... thank you.... thank you...

Mountain brooks and streams are bursting at their banks with all of the r@!n we received the last couple of days. Mary and I got a chance to get out and do some more work around the yard to get ready for winter. Mary has just about finished taking all of the gardens down. I had my chain saw out thinning trees along the Killington Road. It was a nice day to be outside.

Around the inn, the majority of the trees have gone full tiwg. But there is this one maple tree along the Killington Road that is holding on. This afternoon, in the late day sun, it was showing a beautiful orange red hue. Just a small reminder of the fall season past. .....Let it snow!
