Signs of Autumn at Our House
There are increasing patches of fall color.
New Mexico Locust is just starting to turn,
as is Meadow Rue
and this glorious but unnamed bush.
Red is showing on the Sumac
and the Rose Hips.
Seed heads are taking over blooms,
except for Holly Hocks, which are showing one last effort.
This funny fellow appeared in the yard.
The gold fish have come inside from the pond.
The wood has been cut, split, stacked and dried,
just in time for the first fire in the wood stove today
because Hurricane Lorena remnants brought us rain and very cool temperatures. First snow is reported on the San Francisco Peaks!
