Tuesday, October 19, 1965 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

Tuesday, October 19, 1965 
Beautiful Indian Summer day, 75.  I cut out dress for myself in am and went to Home Bureau with Madalyn to Mrs. Ely's in pm.  Girls and I went to Jefferson after pig at night, stopped at Roberta's a minute.  Both men worked late.
Comment: "An Indian summer is a heat wave that occurs in the autumn. It refers to a period of above-normal temperatures, accompanied by dry and hazy conditions, usually after there has been a killing frost. Depending on latitude and elevation, it can occur in the Northern Hemisphere between late September and mid November, though the term is used as widely as early September through January"....Wikipedia...
And Indian Summer in the Catskills sure was beautiful.  Indian summer days also coincided with small game hunting season and I remember many blissful days squirrel hunting in the Beech wood stand of Uncle Earl's adjacent to the property Doug now lives on....Indian Summer Day....from Shannon O'Hara....

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
