"That night was the turning-point in the season. We had gone to bed in
summer, and we awoke in autumn; for summer passes into autumn in some
imaginable point of time, like the turning of a leaf."
(Henry David Thoreau - 1817-1862, The Writings of Henry David Thoreau, vol. 1, p.
356, Houghton Mifflin, 1906)

Notes from my back porch... Get your yearly dose of chlorophyll, carotene, xanthophylls and photosynthesis (yup, we're talking about those changing leaves, folks!) Click here to read this week's story written by naturalist Dave Erler about the science of the fall foliage. By the way, the colors are nearly peaking this weekend here in southwestern New Hampshire! Other Stories This Week: There's been another Bufford sighting! He was recently spotted in Lisbon, NH romping with dinosaurs, panning for gold, and tromping through corn mazes in the dark. Click here to read Bufford's latest adventures.... Our food/recipe writer is vacationing in France until November 1st and he's bound to come back with a heap of new recipes that can be easily adapted to the New England bounty. But for the next few weeks we'll be running his oldies-but-goodies recipes. This week it's pesto (so gather up your basil before the first hard frost this week!). Click here for the pesto story & recipe...
