Fall Ramblings. #8

Hi everyone! Sometimes our temperatures sure do jump around a lot. It was so nice on the weekend and Monday, with temperatures of 61 to 63 F (16 to 17C). Then the wind changed to the north again. And the temperature dropped fast. This morning it was heavy clouds, windy and with a temperature of just 34F (1C). And…with some of those white snowflakes falling from those clouds.

Nothing serious. Just kind of a reminder that winter is not far away. Although it will be getting a bit milder again over the next few days. But not like before. But still nice for this time of year. Definitely jacket weather. Glad I got all my geraniums inside before this colder weather arrived. Most of them are doing fine, although a couple of them are not doing so well. However, I’m sure they will perk up again.

Looking across a bay of our lake.

Hopefully. The clouds are beginning to break up now and the sun is beginning to shine once more. And that has pushed our temperature all the way up to 39F (4C), however, with the wind that still feels like 30F (-1C). I am showing some more of my fall photos from our trip out the other day. Too bad our fall colors were not that good again this year.

A different direction across that bay.

Our last real nice year for fall colors was 2020, even 2021 wasn’t too bad, but since then it really has not been very good. Without getting an early frost the leaves don’t change color all at the same time on the different trees. This year we did get a frost, but then we got that extra strong wind that blew the leaves off most of the trees. Sigh. Oh well, minor details.

But it does mess with photo opportunities. And right now my photo opportunities are not very good anyway. I will be sharing more of this year’s fall photos in the next Fall Ramblings post as well. Not so much for the colors, but nice fall landscape photos anyway. I like fall landscape photos of all kinds.

And yet another look across that same bay.

Old fields with tall grasses of gold and brown with trees growing here and there. Old fences falling apart, the same with old buildings. Hmm, Muffin has fallen asleep on my lap again. I should get up though and do some cleaning. She won’t like that too much, but, it has to be done. Have a great day everyone and God bless!

Steve and Muffin.
