It is football season! Joseph Brian was prepared, and wearing his colours.
Out and about, I spotted two snakes. A ribbon snake hunting for ants on the driveway, and a dead eastern milksnake. Sadly, I found the ribbon snake dead yesterday. The driveway isn't a good place for snakes. I feel so badly. We had several deliveries. It was about 60 cm/ 24" long, and a fine specimen.
Always a sight to behold, the ivy usually shows amazing colour.
I accomplished some Autumn Chores in the lovely weather. All the hops vine is cleaned up. The jute I run from the railing to soffat, I've taken down. The hops regrows each year and the leaves were done for the season.
I took the vinegar JB had used to clean the coffee pot, and cleaned the outside windows. I had to wait until the afternoon, when the sun streams in, to see how I did. I guess I should have cleaned the INSIDE of the windows before bringing in the plants. Sigh.
I had an email message, and a parcel was left at the gate. I hustled down there, enjoying the leaves, and the sunshine.

Your new header is just the best fall photo I've seen! Loved seeing the rest of your colorful trees and vines too!
I've done some limited leaf-peeping. It's nice out there.
It certainly looks autumn-like in those shots.
My ivy has NEVER been as red as it is this year. I love the autumn season. Our forecast calls for HOT and WINDY this afternoon. A lot of leaves might fall :(
Those autumn colours are so deep and beautiful.Snakes, I would be scared even if they are not poisonous ones. Windows, they will always be there, I had a friend, very busy, 4 young children and she drove the school bus and had an orchard with fruit for sale, she said " I only clean the windows when I cannot see outside".I have one very HIGH window that's getting to that stage, a tall friend might do it some favours soon !!! Keep warm Jenn and JB, your red outfit is so colourful.
I am loving your autumnal colour. So much. And yes, road kill always makes me sad.
A wonderful new header photograph.
Colourful post too.
All the best Jan
Great color at your place.
Beautiful fall colors, lovely trees.
It is sad to see the dead snake.
Take care, have a great day!
Your color is far ahead of ours but JB is most colorful!
I never see snakes anymore, and I'm sorry to hear the fate of yours :( They can be invisible on a driveway and a driver doesn't even see them.
The color there is _gorgeous_! I hope it eventually moves its way down here. The hops are enthusiastic growers! It's fun to have plants that the moths and butterflies like.
Beautiful fall colours.
