Update #3 - October 2025

 The second proof copy arrived, and my attempt to fix the minor cover problem didn't work, so I made one more try. Ordered one more proof copy Monday, and turned my attention to the Taliesin book, where I'm making slow progress. The books are in salable condition, only the first proof having a few minor punctuation issues the proofreaders didn't catch.

Not much progress in the garden - there are lots of scarlet runner beans which aren't getting ripe because it's not warm enough. I was hoping for fresh seed for next year, but only have a little so far. At least I have a lot from past years which should still be viable. A lot of fallen and falling leaves, except for the stubborn elms and the oak tree in front which are still green. I need to bring the geraniums indoors tomorrow, since I'll be busy Saturday running some Zoom sessions and we may have a first frost that night. We're getting closer and closer to Winter.
