Autumn is on the way...





Technically we still have a week of summer left. However, it feels like late October today. The wind has come back and everything is growing like crazy. It seems like the hot, dry weather is over and all of the plants are trying to grow as much as possible before the frost. I am in awe of how well everything grows out here.
That being said, we lost one of our fruit trees. It looks like a horrible murder scene. I am guessing a buck came along and rubbed his antlers on it. Whatever happened, the poor little tree never stood a chance. It's branches and support were scattered all over and it's stump was cut off about a foot above the ground. So far this tree is the only victim. When I go back next week to mow, I am bringing deer repellant.
Here are a few shots of this gorgeous day.
