Fall is Fading Fast

These bushes are now gone - but their beauty lay in the fall color. I don't know what they were, but they became a trash bush, so some of the neighbors came and helped Ron pull them out, leaving the north side of the house a little bare. I'll miss the color and the little birds that enjoyed the berries; controlling the wildness is a good trade-off. Now, we are trading them for the snow that has come and is coming. The mountains are white, and at 17 degrees F this morning, we don't expect to have a warming trend any time soon. Glorious October has verged into chilly November, so we gird up for winter.
