FALLING LEAVES 2021, WEEK 4.

It's been rainy and basically yucky, so the pictures are rather drab this week. Here's the usual view of the pond:

Compared to last week, nothing much has changed beyond there being more leaves on the ground. The leaves are thinning, to be sure, but not yet enough to see the pond or the other side of the valley clearly.

Here's the barn and fire pit. Again the ground is littered with leaves, and here the foliage (especially at the top left) is definitely thinning.

No color changes yet, though, so I went around the neighborhood looking. Here's some red, taken just down our road, but it's mostly low-hanging brush that's turning.

This last picture was taken on the highway outside our neighborhood. Finally some reds are showing, but as yet I've seen little -- if any -- yellows. The picture above is of an area that usually shows a brilliant yellow, but today the trees were still bright green.

Maybe by next week we'll be seeing some change.

MERRY CHRISTMAS and thank all those supply chains you locked down.

SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST IGNORE THE DAMN MANDATES? NYC Restaurateurs: business down 40 to 60 percent due to vaccine mandate.

Like Democrats do....

INCOMPETENT, ILL-EDUCATED DEMOCRAT OPERATIVES AT THAT: 'Conscience' is not spelled 'conscious'.
