[Magdalen] the first monochromatic day

[Charles Wohlers]

Same here - totally grey, rainy. However, we've had several frosts and the 
leaves are long gone off the trees. This is "stick season" - when the woods 
look like a mass of sticks, but the snow hasn't arrived as yet. Definitely a 
day to stay indoors. Not the least since it is also the beginning of deer 
rifle season, when the woods become unsafe for all living things, or it 
seems so.

We haven't had a frost yet, but the dark November days have begun.
We need the rain, though.

These are the days when the warm tones of our many brick buildings help
with the general gloom. Concrete is the devil's invention, I think. Like
most of the devil's inventions: useful, cheap, ugly and easy to sell.

Drove up along the Charles the other day. Blue sky, blue water, and I don't
think I've ever seen the oaks so beautiful, red, yellow, and mahogany
reflected in the river, brave contrast against the sky. No blue today,
though. Gray and dismal. Fits my general mood.
