FALLING LEAVES 2023, Episode 7. We start with the usual deck view of our pond.

This week the pond is much more visible, mostly due to the ground cover (brush) having died out. In the trees, the green has gone.

The fire pit view is similar; the green is gone almost entirely. And it hasn't been that cold - mid-50's at night, mid-70's in the daytime.

Even on the other side of our road, leaves that were red last week are brown today. Leaves that were brown are mostly gone. In some places the road itself has disappeared under the leaves.

Here are the 'lasts' around our house: the last red leaves,

and the last yellow leaves. The pond, protected as it is, is still colorful. Here are a couple of views:

And finally I leave you with our cat Martha hiding blackly in the leaves, and the last remaining flower in our garden

Until next week.
