The average first day of frost here in southern Wisconsin is October 15. Last night we came close—I actually thought I saw some frostiness on the roof of the community center in the park as Pax and I were taking an early walk, but, back home, the stuff on the top of my truck was wet and not white. Tonight could be different. And tomorrow night almost certainly. Time to cover anything tender if an extended season is desired.

Down to Geneva today to help Sue (a little bit) with the setup of Janye's new apartment in Holmstad. Roads there and back packed solid no matter which way you turned.
