The last week in September featured brilliant foliage colors, blue skies and arid conditions. While walking alongside a wooded area I heard the sounds of acorns landing on roofs with cracking sounds resembling gunshots. Roads and lawns are already covered thickly with leaves. Heavy rain on Tuesday night into Wednesday soaked dry flammable trees and swelled rivers and streams and revived vegetation to the relief of homeowners and farmers

Although pandemic-related precautions caused cancellations of many beloved summer events, including Barnstormer performances, the farmers’ market at K.A. Brett has remained a popular venue, and last Saturday everyone was enjoying the brilliant sunshine as they strolled around. On the way there, I stopped at Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Eastern Slopes to check out its thrift shop. The shop now accepts only cash, and it’s helpful to have small bills available.
