I don't think it has dropped below freezing yet. Most of the elm leaves have fallen, but the willows still look like summertime. The days are beautiful and the late afternoons turn out really nice. The pond seems to be slowly falling asleep - lots of butterflies out and the flowers are still blooming along the breezeway. Cashlin (I have been misspelling her name) was watching me from her grandmother's window when I checked the pond earlier.
