Going, Going . . .


An unexpected (but most welcome) rain Sunday morning has lowered the temperature and left the ground carpeted with yellow leaves.


  • There's still a lot of color and some really nice reds and oranges, but it won't be long before we'll be looking at bare branches.


We'll hope for a few more of those lovely blue sky days and time to enjoy the rustle and fragrance of those fallen leaves.


Autumn is heart-warmingly beautiful but, alas, heart-breakingly brief.

It’s very brief up here.

This is the season of leaf blowers in suburbia.

What leaves that remain here are the understory beech that hold on to leaves through the winter and some of the oaks. I think winter is upon us.

All the anticipation leading up to the glorious colors does feel like a holiday that suddenly appears, then is gone! It still leaves the cleanup too.
