What a beautiful, cool, crisp fall day here in the Valley. Cold night, though - if you haven't heard already (or felt it in the air), there's a freeze warning in effect overnight. So, um, too late for harvesting now....

"The weather threatened to ruin the day: there was a completely clear blue sky throughout the morning. Luckily some fair-weather Cumulus came to the rescue and arrived just as we were breaking for lunch."
