This photo has nothing to do with the post below. Just thought I’d share the view from my porch today. It’s probably at its peak right now and will be gone within a week.

Just learned from Jessica Walliser that on tomorrow’s edition of ‘The Organic Gardeners’ they will be talking about ColdClimateGardening.com. Every week they have a segment called ‘The Go-To List’ where they highlight companies or informational sources for gardening that they find personally useful. Unfortunately, unless you have Sirius Satellite Radio, there is no way for you to listen to it. If you do have it, they air live from 12-2pm EST on Saturdays, then the show is rebroadcast on Sunday from 11am -1 pm EST. Thank you, Jessica, for thinking of us!

I think all of us NY bloggers have fall pictures on our sites!
Congrats on the radio mention!

Congrats on getting mentioned.

Congrats, Kathy, on the mention. Nothing here is turning at all yet, and yes, we too, are at least two weeks behind. It was 85 degrees here yesterday! Tomorrow’s high is supposed to be 59.

Annie, there’s not a rocker, but there is a bench. And it’s looking this way all over my county now. I have to agree with Digital Flower: it feels like we’re in time warp, because this view is about two weeks later than usual. On Friday, our low temperature achieved a record high! Jessica, don’t put yourself to too much trouble.

I can’t imagine having a view that lovely to look at. It’s beautiful! Congratulations on the radio mention.

There’s a rocker on that porch, right Kathy? So you can stop to sit and gaze and be refreshed. Lovely.

Kathy –
Thanks for letting us talk about you on this afternoon’s program! Since it doesn’t sound like too many folks posting here have access to Sirius, I’m going to do my darndest to get a copy of that segment of the show so you all can have a listen. We have many listeners in both the northern U.S and Canada who stand to gain a lot from visiting your site. Keep up the good work. For anyone interested, other segments of the program can be heard by visiting http://www.theorganicgardeners.com and clicking on the Podcast link in the shaded box on the right side of the home page.
By the way, the front porch view is simply beautiful!
Best and be well,
Jessica Walliser

That sure looks purty! Our trees are nowhere near that yet. This weather is weird, I feel like I am in a bit of a time warp.

Congratulations on the radio show.

Greg October 20, 2007, 2:25 pm

Agree with everybody. It’s a wonderful view.
Thanks.

Gorgeous view. I wish I could sit on your porch with you and just look at it for a while. Congrats on the radio mention too.

Curtis October 19, 2007, 6:25 pm

The view is pretty. And congrats on the getting mentioned on the radio show.

Beautiful view. One of the things I am disappointed about subtropical living is not having such autumn shows.

Wow on the view. Spectacular. I hope you have some time to just sit out there and look at it this weekend. If you don’t, make time anyway.

Our trees are not yet near peak.

Congrats on the radio show. I don’t get Sirius satellite radio, but may have to find out if someone I know does!

You view is delightful. The trees here are at peak. I am going out in the rain to take some pictures. Enjoy the weekend!
