The window derives its name from both its subject matter, its color, and its historical setting.  The term "Indian Summer," meaning the warm period occuring after the first frost, conjures visions of mild, pleasant days for an extended harvest and early planting--both fruitful and hopeful images.  In the photograph as seen through a window, the meadow, bitten by a cold spell, yet redolent of a luxuriant previous season, flashes those familiar Irondequoit autumn hues--crimson, violet, and orange.  The worn, yet stately fence post, like the sentinel Indian who once roamed the fields and woods of Irondequoit, stands as a proud reminder of a past heritage still seen in the spirit of Irondequoit citizens and heard in our name-honoring sites.
