It really is October

I've been trying to get outside as much as possible, while the trees are in their autumn glory. Yesterday, I went to the Assabet wildlife refuge for a very long walk through the woods and marshes. About halfway through my walk, I suddenly heard what sounded exactly like machine gun fire. It was quite jarring, to say the least. I go to the woods for the peace and quiet! On the way home, I saw the sign for the WWII battle reenactment, and felt relief that we hadn't been invaded, and the zombies weren't coming.

Today, I went over to Gates Pond, which is where I took the above pic. Although there were many dogs, some of which were barking, it was much more peaceful than the sounds of battle.

I spent the afternoon baking beer cheese bread, and ginger shortbread. Looking forward to dinner, when they will be the accompaniments to Guinness beef stew. I love October!
