We were a bit worried about fall color because of this summer's drought, but the trees and bushes have come through in great fashion, although starting the color change a bit earlier and not keeping the leaves for as long.
My Amur maples and Japanese lilacs have already lost their leaves as have the crabapples. The honey locusts are yellow as are the birch and one of my two sugar maples.
Getting ready to rake the pine straw up by the pine islands. Love that free mulch.
The mums are blooming all over the place as are the wild mini daisies. The burning bushes are blazing away right now and the tall grasses have tassled out nicely.
The Halloween decorations have been hung on the bushes in front.
I may or may not have to cut the grass again and no longer water anything outside. The plants I want to save have been moved inside for the winter. October 7th, I used a nice day to burn the burn pile which was about four feet high and 15 feet long. I'm sure it won't be too long before we are no longer able to burn stuff.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
