The leaves are just about all down here in our yard. I've contracting with someone to rake, bag and remove them and hoping they show up today.
Notice the green fence beyond the stand of hemlock trees? It is the construction fence for the new library & community center which has begun the renovation of the old store. It's nice to see the progress. Next on their list besides a ground breaking ceremony later today is demolition of an apartment which is tacked on the back. Our town did not want to become landlords so the apartment will go.
I was leaning over the front porch railing to take this photos. Muted yellows predominate this year. The reds were few and far between because of our drought.
Look closely at my shepherd's hook. There is only a niger seed feeder there. The suet feeder disappeared last week. Dan scoured the yard and some of the field behind and it is nowhere to be found. Was it a bear? A raccoon? No idea what decided to take it.
My pumpkin shutter is on the front porch now. I made this back in 2021 from one of the many shutters we found in our barn.
And I finally purchased two mums full of buds. I pulled out the coleus in my two front porch pots and put the pots right in there. I hated to pull out the greenery that's doing so well.
Kevin showed up as I was writing this and the leaf blower noise has started.
Much needed rain is in our forecast for later today and tomorrow.
