day for making onion soup and baking some
squash. have a few beans left to shell
out, almost done.

still have to pull the beets sometime
and put those up.

got all the hoses brought in along
with the yard decorations and the bird-
baths are covered up.

otherwise still busy putting up gardens

We had our first frost last night (October 26-27), north of Baltimore. They're predicting in the high 70's in a few days, then cooling again.

Reminds me of the joke about why Cleveland (where I grew up) is located where it is. When Moses Cleveland was in a boat exploring Lake Erie, a storm blew up. They pulled into the mouth of the Cuyahoga River and Moses said, "We'll wait here until the weather improves."
