I've needed to wear long pants during my morning walk the last week, or so (it's in the 40's, now), and I'm about to need socks with my Tevas. Soon, a jacket. The bracken fern are already yellow, and there are a few yellowish leaves on the tulip tree and my flipflop days are numbered. And, no, I never got the garden planted (sigh). But, there's time for a cover crop, I hear (she says, not too loudly, just in case that never happens, either).The Wednesday and Thursday evening markets/street fairs are over (though there are still a couple of farmer's markets open through October on Saturday mornings). We went to nearly every one. Harvest fairs are popping up like mushrooms and pumpkins are everywhere. Canada geese are honking through the air every day. I loved fall in San Diego, but I'm crazy about it, up here. I'm just having my own little inner celebration at the autumnal equinox, that's all. Nothing too overt.

Just because, here are the two pics I took of my shoe next to a belgian hoof and a mini hoof. Also, just because, here's another cool video you should see. It was sent to my by Al. You don't have to be a music lover to appreciate it (Tom says you should follow the links at the end, also) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5MLNMgpywk
And here's one more pun from, who else, but Al. Hold your nose:
Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.
I think I'll go make some soup.
