The Autumn Leaves!

I did the lawn Monday. I ran out of gas, and we had to go to the store. Even on that short jaunt, the trees were lovely. 






Percy is still in the pond. The frogs are gathering here. I have to decide when to bring him in. It's still lovely in the daytime. The night time temperatures are above zero. 

OK, I am sure THIS is the last rose!

Monday, I decided to clean out the House Wren box, filled as it is with little sticks. I had to grab the ladder, and use the drill to undo the screws atop the ladder. Whew. 
We are ready for next year.

It looked as if there were two butterflies that used the box as shelter, and hatched!

Charlie spider is still above the front door. There was a visitor our front, an Eastern Comma. I was worried about it, but Charlie seems nocturnal. 

Great excitement with the kids. Josephine participated in a re-enactment on the weekend, and she and her friend put together costumes. Jos took fencing lessons a few years back. They are great thrifters, and have fun with fashion.


Another Autumn activity, they went apple picking! 



More fall chores today! I hope you have a good one.

    I was just looking at photos from 3 years ago today. The colour was more advanced then. I wonder if this will be lesser year.

    You are so capable and inspiring! So nice! You've been lucky in the grandkids. They seem like good sorts. Don't work too hard my friend. And keep sending the beautiful narrative and photos of the autumn. I don't get here. Aloha

    If you keep your eyes open you see all kinds of critters trying to get ready for winter.

    You are getting some beautiful early color. And your "girls" and kids are so dear!

    I love those costumes! Our fall color (if we get much) won't peak until November.
