summer into autumn

In the last week New England has shifted from late summer into early fall.  A week ago, autumn colors arrived in this latitude, but they stayed mostly north of the Mass Pike.  This week, we are rushing to bring in the last of the harvest before our first frost.  Here are some pictures from our late summer bike ride, may they help us hold on to that warmth for a little while longer!
