Greetings to all,

Goodbye summer, hello fall. Come to think of it, where was summer this year?

Summer was not a wow for those of us who like it hot (tomato crops were poor, moth numbers down), but we are seeing some very pleasant weather now that September has arrived. The trees have at least been able to take up sufficient moisture to encourage new growth after the ravages of winter, and I expect the fall colours will be especially good this year.

We have a great line-up of talks coming up, so I hope to see everyone at these events.

Best wishes,

Fiona Reid
