Colorwatch '11

 Full Autumn is taking its sweet time getting this far north, I don't think anyone is complaining. Five years ago yesterday was a big surprise snow storm up here, so we are happy with a nice slow fall.

 Miss Kiara is back for a few days, and we learned yesterday that screened porches are just launching pads for her!

 We had a super wet Spring and a record breaking dry Summer, so I guess the trees did not know what to do, many lost their leaves before changing color.

 One bright golden hickory. Out weather has turned sucky after the full week of perfection. Warmish, gloppy, humid, some showers...

The giant trees all around out house still have all their leaves. Which is a good thing.. the longer they are up there , the more likely of a big storm blowing leaves away so, less raking!
