Promises of Autumn

The mountains encircling the NCR have assumed their seasonal coat of many colors albeit in somewhat muted shades.  We seem to have gone from green to rainbow in the space of a few days.  Usually when this happens, the leaves drop quickly and the heralds of winter hold forth.  I am hoping it doesn't happen that way this autumn.   The garden continues to produce its bounty and there are ample opportunities for outdoor activities.  The Monzeglio clan gathered at a local brewery to sample the product and enjoy a little live music on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon.  Unfortunately it was the last such opportunity until next year.  On the plus side, a good time was had by all, even if the Divine Mrs. M's favored libation was root beer.
