I see trees of green

and red roses too.

Not that I'm complaining. It's Halloween and it looks like the trees aren't giving in yet. We have a castor bean plant that's busily throwing out new branches even though it should be dead. I'll suspect this will be a bad year for ice wine.

My application to the Boston Marathon has been accepted. Hotel is booked. Fee's are paid. Now I just have to spend another entire winter training.
