Seems too soon for the leaves to be tuning again. The summer that wasn’t has just passed and here we are facing winter again. We have trimmed some trees so that the sun could get down to the grass but I really miss the masses of red oak leaves that are no more. Also, sadly, we had to cut down some mature oaks from the back as they were suffering from some sort of tree disease. Miss them too, but it’s better to cut them down than have them crash down and cause damage.
Our dear cousins from Oz is attending a medical conference in St. Louis in the next week. Wish we could meet them there, but too many things got in the way. They are real favorites of ours and Australia is so far away that St. Louis seem a good bet for a reunion. Wish things had worked out better.
The sun is trying to break through the clouds now. Hope it does. We are full up of cloudy rainy days. We need the sunlight a lot more than some rain right now.
