This week
The first cold morning of the season, and the trail that goes with it
Fog in the valley by seven, sun on the ridge by nine. A short walk to the overlook, a thermos of coffee, and the maples just beginning to turn.
We write about the small, regular things that make a place feel like home: market days, porch repairs, the library's reading list, and which bakery opens earliest on Saturdays.
Market days
The Saturday market runs through the end of the month. Apples, late tomatoes, and the last of the sweet corn.
Weekend reading
The library's autumn list is up: two novels set in small towns, a field guide to local birds, and a history of the old rail line.
Around the house
Storm windows go in, gutters get cleared, and the woodpile gets stacked before the first real frost.
