Even the driving range looks nice today.

Highfields in Grafton.

For late October we'll take it.

Not here, every tree I cut the yellow jackets come around. Not sure what they're after in the wood. Only happens in the fall.

Early next week looks to blow

Yellow jackets were out in force yesterday. Last hurrah hopefully. Bastards...

Another inch of Stein.

This is a story about self-respect and tradition and honoring long-gone parents; about lover turning against lover, mother against child. In other words, this being October in New England, this is a story about turning on the heat. If we were a less swaggery state, Sept. 15 could be considered the legitimate kick-off to the heat season. That’s when landlords are required to make sure their residential properties are at least 68 degrees during the day and at least 64 degrees at night, per the Massachusetts State Sanitary Code. But to quote every local still rocking shorts and a Dunkin’ iced coffee and vowing to hold off until Nov. 1, “ya, no.” https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/10/17/metro/are-you-true-new-englander-if-your-heat-is-already-answer-is-no/?event=event12

ESPN Aaron Judge sets MLB record with fourth, four-strikeout playoff game

I feel for Mike judge, 0 for 8 with a walk and seven strikeouts. At least he has the 52 home runs and Family Guy to look back on.

Shame about the Yankees today. They played such a great game.

Patience

Well that was a quick dumping. Up to 1.72 now

Got you by 0.02, wind did Gust to 14 miles an hour.

What did you gust?

Foliage is unreal against the gray backdrop.

So much for the dry morning.

Also considered a Wind Advisory for the Cape and islands, as well as Cape Ann. Just did not have the confidence to issue one at this time. Thinking it is more likely wind gusts stay just under the threshold for one. The next shift will need to monitor this potential as well.

Sure pretty in the woods today.

Let's rock it. I could use the help.

It won't have the same look. The standalone beauties will be shredded.

Say goodbye to foliage and welcome to stick season!

A few more from the camera trap. May have posted a few before.
