The bright reds and oranges have gone, the yellow will soon disappear and all that will be left will be the greens and browns. No knowing how long that will last, falls seem to be longer of late, but that maybe just impatience on my part.
There are still lots of blue berries of a good size and condition; alas the sweetness has gone out of them.
It’s always exciting waiting for the first falls of snow, and hope it sticks around.

The last days have seen the winds insistent and consistent, many gusts up to 60 plus. Sky has been ominous with many cloud formations, but most blowing on by. It makes for uncomfortable boating; still some go out for the chance to get a bird or fauna. Most get back safe under there own steam, some have to be brought home by the coast guard auxiliary, the risk ya take.
No real below zero conditions yet, Friday night it did not get below plus 10, it did dip to minus 3 briefly at the house last night.
I have finished painting the kitchen, drawn out job, but the results are worth it. Will ponder if and what to tackle next.
