Update...

Autumn is really creeping around our front door...



On the front steps,

And all around the yard (please note cornstalks, grown by our kids for $0.75

rather than the usual $5.50 cornstalks cost around here! (and there is a ton

more at our garden site)

I loved this lonesome red and yellow leaf, wrested from the tree across the driveway,

a lone sentinel to the changing of the seasons. I can almost hear it calling to the hedge

and garden below, "it's time to change..."

Finally, my favorite shot from the lot...our front tree, illuminated by the morning sunlight,

mid-transition. The understory is still deep and rich and green, but the outer edges are

nibbling away at it...red, yellow, a hint of orange....

Welcome, Autumn!
