September is a season of change. School begins, summer winds down with the promise of cooler weather and the harvest. In our own ways we make changes and adjustments in our lives. That is the beauty and sometimes wonder of living in the Northeast in an agricultural valley. There is a remarkable video homage to our Valley created by Michael McVey called “The Same River Twice” it’s available on YouTube. It captures an essence of the natural diversity and rural quality that we’ve been able to protect.
