The first frost of Autumn 2005...
I'm not out of shorts yet...but today was the first day since spring we've had frost on the ground. I took this photo quickly stopped on the side of Elm Avenue (coming back from an almost daily run to Dunkin' Donuts)...

Ayuh, can't get thair for hee-yah...
On the right side of our house (facing it), we have a creek in our woods. On the left side we have a culvert (under the road) to help alleviate the surge of water caused by heavy rain and/or melting.
Guess what backed up this past weekend on the other side of the road. Guess what is being fixed as I write this.
So, if you want to visit the Fahrners right now, you better come from the Route 9 side...the 202 side has an impediment :-)

40 days and 40 nights...
Okay, so it hasn't quite been 40 days and 40 nights, and nobody has encouraged me to go on an ark :-)
However, it was big news last weekend how there was a bunch of flooding in New Hampshire. It affected all around us, but didn't hit Antrim very badly.
Well, that's no longer true thanks to this weekend's heavy rains. The photos (in order) are of our closed road (leading to people having to turn around in our driveway), the creek in our woods, pumpkins floating in the distance at Tenney's farm, and water attempting to take out a bridge downtown that is in the midst of be replaced from a previous wash-out.
If you click on any of the pictures, you'll get a larger version.
Other "news" that I'm aware of is that part of the Greg Lake damn has washed away (the top maybe?) Also, two of our friends are now accessing their house from an old logging road because the bridge leading to it is no longer safe. Should be interesting in the winter :-)
But, compared to some other recent natural disasters, we can't complain. And Mikey loves the water...he might still be out there playing by it if I didn't make him come in with me :-)
