inLori and I made our annual fall pilgrimage to the extraordinary F. R. Newman Arboretum near the Cornell campus. It features an amazing diversity of plants and trees, almost all carefully labeled. It’s one of those places and one of those seasons that make us so grateful to live in this chunk of the northeast. For the moment we ignore the inevitable looming season of cold gray and brown. We’ll get through it, secure in the certainty that a riotous spring explosion of color and flowers will eventually prevail. We hope.

Lori and I visited the Munson Museum of Art in Utica recently. It’s a very nice mid-size museum with a very good collection of decent works. Lori had been there once a few years ago and I had been there many times in my childhood. Their nice collection of Hudson River School paintings, in particular, inspired me for many years to consider a career as a starving artist. While Utica seemed mostly as drab and dreary as I recalled from the 1960s, the Museum remains a wonderful gem. Amazingly we had it mostly to ourselves on a Tuesday fall day.
