Fall Color

Solomon loves to open cupboards and drawers.

If there are books and magazines, he then paws them onto the floor.

He usually uses his front paws, but I thought his tail looked to be trying something...

I worked outside for three hours yesterday morning.  I have the Back Patio put to bed, and have now moved on to the Front Porch (and the infamous 186 pots)!  I made a start there as well.  The Ferns are tidied up.  Today I hope to tackle the Hostas as they are easy.  I'll just shove them under my picnic benches where they'll hybrinate the Winter away.  We now have frost in the forecast for Tuesday evening, so I'm glad I've made as much progress as I have. 

I am a volunteer reader at a local elementary school.  This tree in in the front parking lot - stunning.

I also like this photo taken about 1 mile from my house - Western Oregon almost resembles New England with all the Fall color on display.

This shrub is also about a mile from my house.  I've been watching for a couple of weeks.  It's now past its prime - it was the most glorious orange.  No idea what it might be.  

More Fall color...

I can't get enough of it!
