DON'T TELL DR. FAUCI: COVID is over.

FALLING LEAVES 2022, week 2.

We start with the usual pond view from the back deck.

While most of the trees are still green at least two are now mostly leafless. Looking back, these two seem to be the ones that took the most damage from last spring's late freeze.

Also the two bellwether trees on the opposite side of the house are now mostly leafless after turning deep red last week. Their cousins towering above them are also losing leaves rapidly.

The house and yard are still showing mostly green, though the brown in the center of the picture are the two damaged trees shown in the pond view above.

On the bright side, we're beginning to have a lawn. The area along the fire pit walkway has finally been seeded. The area around the fire pit is next after it's sloped to move rainwater away from the fire pit surround.

The trees on the south side of the house are definitely turning and leaves are beginning to pile up on the driveway. It's almost leaf blower time.

And finally the 'tunnel' that is our road out of the subdivision is now opening up.

I'm surprised at how fast Fall is falling this year. In the last two weeks the average daily temperature has dropped at least 10 degrees and we've had very little rain.

Until next week then.
