LEAF FALL

You might want to peek out a window to enjoy watching the leaves falling. It's interesting to see how they carefully drop to the ground as the wind gently touches the branches. Over the past weeks, it's been a joy to see how the tree's burden drops to the ground.

Fall has totally descended now, and we are well on the way to a new season of even more dramatic changes. This week we will be able to experience 20 degrees, a kind of temperature that we have not experienced since last March.

Two morning doves try to collect some of the last warmth of the sun reflecting off of the wood chips. It's often that I find them resting outside of my office window.
The last of the "leaves" to turn are the tamarack...the trees that look like an evergreen, but lose their "leaves" every winter. Lots of tamaracks surround our pond south of the house.
The last of the few oaks on our property; most of our trees are evergreen. In only a few days, this whole area will be devoid of leaves and the neighbor's land will begin to show.
