I remember some years were more vibrant than others. How ‘does’ this season rate?

This has been a very dull fall in Vilas County (northern Wisconsin).

We've had a doe and her two fawns in our yard this summer. We're on very good terms.

The fawns have recently lost their spots.

Does eat oats, but little lambs eat ivy.

A kid'll eat ivy, too. Wouldn't you?

Thanks

Just got back to north Florida from a sojourn to the Shenandoah Valley. The Jefferson Pools were worth another great soak. Thank you President Jefferson for building those octogonal buildings that have lasted all these centuries. The leaves were just starting to turn and we had blankets on the beds.

The colors have been dull, but the weather has been good for outdoor activities. Dry and relatively warm.

I’m not in any way an eco-freak but, Gawd, I love a giant tree. Truly historical monuments.

Well, other people’s giant trees. Ones that don’t drop leaves and other seasonal discharges onto my roof and lawn. As noted in an earlier thread, all the giant trees that were on my property were felled into the ravine behind my house.

The maple in our front yard is dying. It had the black spot disease a couple of years ago and never recovered. It was never a specimen, but if provided much needed shade on the western facing side of the house. I'll remove it this spring.
