A lovely Indian Summers day

The tree in our side yard took a big hit from the last couple of nights wind and rain - almost all of its leaves now gone.

Not that it matters here in Mendon - as well documented here, never not one trick or treater, but sad for the little kiddies.

But the giant trees in our front yard are keeping theirs for a big longer, I did my first raking of the season today, then decided that just mowing is easier,
