Cascading Waters can be found at 135 Olean Street on the eastern edge of Worcester's northwest parklands, the Cascades. The Cascades are 350 acres of park and conservation lands along the borders of Worcester, Paxton, and Holden, Massachusetts. Home to countless species of plants and animals, the Cascades are open to passive recreation year-round.

Feeling like fall

There's an interesting article this week in the "Science Times" section of the New York Times on Mohonk Mountain House's 112 years of weather observations. It's a very useful set of information to have. We are not there (and we miss a day or so), but perhaps we are of use, too.

There was a mention in the article of Project Budburst, a field campaign tracking when plants come into flower (phenology: the science of natural occurences). You can register to participate at their website; we have!

At 9am, it is 49 degrees and rising.
98% humidity and steady
The barometer is at 30.24 and steady.
Nice clear skies this morning
