First frost!

 We had our first frost on Sunday. It wasn't too heavy. It was a clear message! GET READY! 

The wasps and caterpillars are out and about.



When I used the lawn tractor the other day, I lost the lens hood. I looked everywhere along my mowing path. I had a 💡moment. I went into the shed, and looked at the stick that shifts the level of the mower. Sure enough, right there. I laughed so hard. I'd even researched the cost of replacement, taking lots of photos, trying to figure out if I needed it. ($65!) It cracked few years ago, and I Flex Taped it. It often comes loose and pops off.



Last one?


The leaves are looking fine!

Laughing with you on your lens hood story! Too easy to do! Oh first frost already? Since when did summer just turn off!

That first frost always freaks me out. It's a sign I don't like! But what I do like is the start of your beautiful color. Give it a week or two!

Your last photo is picture perfect!!! What a great place for the lens hood to fall, when I take the cap off, I made a little pocket that slid onto the handler and pop it in safely.

Wasps freak me out but I loved the rest of the pictures.

It does seem early for the first frost. I am not ready for an early winter. Pretty views of the trees! Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.

I like the colours in your trees ... beautiful.

All the best Jan

I use a lens hood almost all the time; it helps to keep the light from making nasty little incursions.
