We are spending hours buying books, and then we get back and need to list them as well. And while we like writing about our exploits, the last few days have not lent themselves to writing. The weather has gotten cool at last, the first thin sliver of the late Fall crescent moon began to wax just after sunset. The plants have revived from their summer wilt. The yellow mums pictured here had almost given up their ghost, but the last 6 weeks or so they have grown back and flowered again, you can see the brown stalks where they had dried out, but now there is abundant new growth. The first frost is getting closer, but it is perhaps a little late. We will talk about our new books in the next few days.
