Air temperature 58 F, wind NW about 10 mph, partly cloudy. Roads still damp from rain overnight. Will wait a bit before getting out on the bike, probably sticking to a local ride over to the airport/base to check on interesting bird life. Any one of these may be the last ride for the year . . .
White pines are shedding needles and creating yellow-brown carpets. As Aldo Leopold put it, they maintain their "evergreen" status by overlapping terms in office.
Asters still going strong, a few more maples and ash trees turning, but fall "color" has a ways to go.
No fresh roadkill.
Windy, chilly enough for me to add my ski top to the bicycle gear, but got out for a local ride. Did not die, in spite of the efforts of a trio of neighborhood kids who jumped the curb on their bikes right in front of me . . .
