leaf me alone

 I think I am missing fall

    I told Jackie about 2 weeks ago that we should go to Morton Arboretum to look at fall colors.

    But it seems fall colors are here already and I am afraid we are missing them.

    We moved into our Skare Court house in 1992.  One of the first things we did was plant trees, a lot of trees.

    We planted white pines along Fowler Road, and a bunch of other trees in the back yard.

    In front, we had 2 sugar maples planted.  They were not very big .  We lived in that house for 20 years, and it is my favorite house of all the ones we have inhabited.

    One of the reasons it's my favorite is the sugar maples.

    Here they are as of today.

     Just look at the color!

    The trees are now in the ground there for over 20 years.  The color of the leaves is brilliant.

    I miss that.

    We had 2 sugar maples planted at this house, but one of them had a disease and died in year 3.  We were told not to plant another in the same area because of the disease.

    The one sugar maple we have left has not produced the colors of the older trees yet, I think it is just a matter of time.

    Maybe this week we can take a drive and see some color, but I fear we may be too late.

    I did very little today.  Just did not feel like doing anything.  So I did little.

    There is always tomorrow.

Peace and Love
