As I often do, I need to complain about last weekend’s wind. It stripped many of the just-turning beautiful fall leaves from my sugar maple.

The last few weeks have offered up some pretty spectacular cloud formations.

Everyone I have seen recently seems to be out of sorts.

Hurricane Teddy passed by on Tuesday and delivered some mighty blustery conditions.

Last Monday and Tuesday were a bit hazy. NPR reported it was a smoke plume from the wildfires out west.

Labor Day weekend delivered some fine weather — the kind that makes a person glad to be alive.

I was happy last week at the possibility of a rainy Saturday.

Honestly, I have no business ever complaining about the weather.

I hauled out the Squeezo Strainer and processed seven quarts of tomato juice.

I’ve been harvesting and putting up the fruits of my vegetable garden.
