The falling rain, on the windshield it sprinkles They may streak , but never leave wrinkles With a wide swipe the wiper clears All the clouds weeping tears.

Perhaps the long Columbus Day weekend will bring one more swim, maybe the last of the year, or the last few walks without a jacket. Time to pull quilts and sweaters out of hiding, stock the woodpile, and prepare for the first frost.
But first, admire the way the October sun hits changing leaves. Read a book outside with the smell of woodsmoke in the air. And enjoy Timothy Johnson's pictures of this sweet season on the Island.
