The Cusp of Autumn





It really is here ...Autumn... that time of year when the air gets crisp in the evening and there is heavy dew in the morning and we all think of bringing out our sweaters having been stored all summer... WELL that is until this year when it seemed like Autumn all summer here in Chicago... I have been searching for some good reading that will likely take up my winter down time .. if anyone can suggest. I have a few sites that I came accross that i want to share and next week when it is REALLY AUTUMN, I will put some more photos up of the gardens... Michael Pollan's book the Omnivore's Dilemma, is a good read I hear ...and have read excerpts and also follow links from his home page which has some great lead's check it out...Till then enjoy the waning days of summer!
