Country CousinIssue Date: September 23, 2020 Autumn is here!
Autumn officially arrived on Tuesday, Sept. 22, and as it does each year, TIMESLand is getting more breathtakingly beautiful with every passing day. The frosts that dropped in last week weren't of the killing variety, and the weather has been every bit as beautiful as the trees. Snow will be coming all too soon, but in the meantime, aren't we lucky to live here???

From My WindowIssue Date: September 23, 2020 Make Room for the Queen
By Jane Thibodeau Martin,
I have been volunteering at an animal shelter for almost two years. My big fear was that I would want to bring every needy animal I met home; but I've learned some things I didn't know when I started, so that hasn't been an issue.
One of the insights I have now is that I can achieve way more working at the shelter than I can do hauling home every sweet critter who pulls at my heartstrings. Besides the fact we already have six animals, I have lear...

They're talking possible frost on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, but some spectacular days over the weekend. Wouldn't you know it, weather is supposed to be particularly fine on Sunday and Monday, when temps should climb again into the low 70s.

From My WindowIssue Date: September 16, 2020 The Rock in the Pond
By Jane Thibodeau Martin,
We are now at the six month mark since Mike and I started living our lives to avoid getting Covid. It hasn't been much fun. It has meant painful distance from our kids, our friends, our church family and many of our relatives. But we are both over 60, both have pre-existing conditions and tend to be naturally cautious. There have been long hospital vigils in our time together. We are enjoying our senior years and each other, and a trip to a bar or a festival isn't wor...
