  4. Thanks, Jeanne! Yes, time does fly. It's hard to believe that mums and pumpkins will soon be gracing doorways all over New England. And, as for the blogging part, you have nothing to be envious about. For readers who don't know by now, Jeanne writes a series of the most wonderful blogs from her home in the UK with THE most gorgeous photos! I check in on them every day. As a start, check out her Collage of Life blog which you can link to from the sidebar.--Joe
