Roses (next door at Kathy's) continue to bloom, late in the season.

And the oaks continue to gyre and gimble in the wabe.

A cool, gray day with a chilly north wind. A trip to the dentist put a dent in even that. But later Pax and I got to take a good walk, Sue came very close to finishing this year's costumes, and the front yard, full of birch leaves, got raked. So, not a total loss.
