This is a longnose gar. It’s long and toothy.

I think the “h” at the end is pretentious but that’s OK. Alburgh, northwesternmost corner of our state. Barely in Vermont, barely in the USA – love it.

Such an incredibly beautiful fall weekend.

Say good-bye to summer.

One of my pumpkins finally turning orange.

I screwed up at work today. But I’m out there every day giving it my all.

I’m reading this book and it’s fabulous. I didn’t think I’d be interested in it. Not so interested in Tudor times, or kings & queens. And was afraid it was going to be violent. But it’s fabulous. 3rd on the NYT best books of the century. 1st was My Brilliant Friend and well deserved. 2nd was Warmth of Other Suns which, really… Nice piece of journalism but no way was it the 2nd best book of the century.

I had no idea this would look this nice when I bought these three little plants in the spring.

I was wrong, I do have pumpkins. I just needed to look on the sunny side of the patch.
