William Theodore Van Doren. Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va. Oil on paper, 16 x 20.

Clear, with color and light draining, air turning chilly. If we manage to get a frost tonight, I’m pretty sure it will be only the second of the year in this locale, which seems remarkable. Maybe after all this time, with a little more frost, and if the deer, the bears and the wind have left me any, I can be persuaded to try, again, one of our persimmons – the native Virginia kind.
