Fall Has Arrived!

Fall is officially here.  We've received our first frost and our first snow (on top of Mt. Abe) the other day.  Temps have been dropping below freezing at night; ice is just around the corner.  The leaves are changing color and another week or so, will be in full effect.  Lincoln often has some of the best foliage viewing around, which brings the "leaf peepers" in throngs to our quiet town.  Krista and I went raspberry picking the other day at a local organic farm.  I never realized the variety in raspberry subspecies.  I was "enlightened" by the Kiwi-Gold raspberry, a yellow, absolutely delicious berry.  In addition, we picked Nova, Anne, and Autumn Britten berries.  Graduate school is in full swing.  Makes under-grad look like pre-school.  I probably spend more time in front of a laptop typing than I do sleeping.  Ice season is on its way and I can't wait!
