QOTS JOXb I have never quite figured out what Indian Summer is... but for me I've decided this full is one. The beautiful sunny days following that first crippling frost have been wonderful. The flowers that escaped have the most vibrant hues, the Michaelmas daises, the roses, the mums, tuberous begonius. Really my favorite time of year. Wood smoke smells are beginning to creep from an occasional fire in a fireplace. I'd like sunny days and frosty nights until Christmas, have a month of snow and then spring! t , Have you 'ever seen the Magpies as close to town as they seem to be? I've seen them flying from the back windows and Wednesday morning one was in the front yard. I think he was looking for venison bones that seem to get parked there these days.

In fact it was once painted pink and graced the garden path at the Junior Prom at Mac Hi, the year Judy was chairman. Charlie says I'm awfully sentimental That stone has been moved quite a few .times k Before ChaVIie went over the the post office after the tax statement Friday, he asked if I had any heart attack medicine and when he got back I needed itf Suburbia: where the de veloper bulldozes out all the trees, then names the streets after them.
