I have a treat for you.  I've been saving it for a dreary day - like today has been.  A while back Roland Laperle, long-time Joe's Ponder, sent me pictures he took when he was here during foliage season.  They are lovely, and I have made a slide show for you.  Click HERE to begin.

The weather today has been chilly, windy, and kind of raw.  We're being promised better weather later in the week, with temps even in 60's and possibly 70's (maybe not here!), so winter has not set in quite yet.

We're planning to watch the last of the debates tonight, so I need to go get the popcorn ready.  The debates have been pretty entertaining, and I think we can learn a little about the candidates from how they handle themselves under the pressure of debating.  It may not be scientific, but sometimes their true selves show up.
