Fall Fell

We've had a few frosts. The nastursiums were the first to go but not before Bo got a great picture.The fall-bearing rasberries continue to amaze with steady produce.













The front feild is pretty spectacular with the rime in the morning;





and the maples Bo planted years ago are now ablaze with orange/red leaves.

As I walked throught the first fallen leaves this year I was so taken with their color I wanted to pick the brightest ones to save. It made me think of kindergarten.....putting them between pieces of waxed paper, trying to capture them in their moment of spectacular transition. Then it occurred to me that fall leaves never fail to delight. It is such a simple thing but we are always amazed by their beauty, always on the lookout for the next, best, one. It is reassuring somehow to still be delighted by something so simple.
