Chilly

At 9 am, it is 53 degrees and heading up
94% humidity and steady (not warm enough to drop yet)
Barometer is steady at 30.00 inches (keeping those high skies)
No rain yesterday or this morning
Fire danger remains LOW
Brook is still running from the rain earlier in the week.

UPDATE: A morning hike on the Holden Trail revealed the damage done by the dirtbike/ATV crew (all were spoken to yesterday; we're assured that's the end of it) this past week. It's of course been wet, which means mud, which is fun if you're on a dirtbike and don't care that the slope will entirely wash away the next time it rains.
We'd did some trail blocking (you won't get through on wheels without work), but we'll need to go back in to do some erosion control. If you want to help, you know how to get in touch! We'll always welcome extra hands.
Also, the leaves are just thinking about changing; you'll find a maple here and there. The ditch is running with water. We also noticed the succession of white pine along the edges of that end of Cataract Street. It doesn't take the pines long to notice that a space isn't being used!
