Autumnal Goings-on

The equinox has passed quietly and temperatures are cooling down, albeit slowly.  Terrance has stopped eating, but Tiberius still has an appetite.  Bike rides are pleasant.  There's water in the Rio and in the ditches.  

Political protests are in the wind and old friends from Lake Elsinore are coming for a visit.  Roger Guinn might be passing through town.  Sadly, Annie's Soup Kitchen is closing.  

Nature's Notebook this morning was extremely pleasant after the hot days of data collection this past summer.  No ants to speak of.  No rain (until late afternoon).  Lots of interesting phenophases and time to catch up with Sheila, who I haven't seen since August.  

Tuesday (tomorrow) Maria and I will discuss what to do about labels for the plants in the new Lebanese Garden.  And I still have about 200 of the Backyard Refuge labels to get in the ground.  

Also in the news has been my experiments over the weekend with croissants.  I call them a success, though not as light as some store-bought.  By my calculation, there were 162 layers.
