Autumn Happenings

Early in this morning's view I saw the Canada Geese resting on the lake in preparation for their annual flight south. It happens every year about this time.

Their arrival prompted me to take another buggy ride to see if there are more colors evident in the surrounding close-by areas. Some images were taken at Lake Chrisann and others at Heart Lake. It was a cool day but I got through the journey with success. Soon the buggy will be leaving for winter storage. When the milkweed are open it's the time to do this!

By the way I didn't see a single critter!

Out and About Short Ride

Except for the funny running deer, I didn't see one other animal on my trip around the lake and the neighboring lake! Even the flowers were scarce and it wasn't a very interesting ride. The sun was out, the breeze was light, my cart is very dirty. No baths for it, though. The water faucet  where the hose is hooked into leaks so much that it has been tightened and capped until a plumber can be afforded and then called. Oh well, maybe some Windex will help with the windshield. I have now learned how to hook it up to the charger and still need to learn how to do the automatic distilled water system for the batteries. 

There are many wild hickory plants that are in full bloom along the roadside now. They aren't very impressive as a side-of-the road weed, but the individual close up shots show their beauty well.
For several years now I've seen the wild sweet peas blooming among the branches of this little blue spruce tree. This year they seem to have taken over the tree. I don't know if they cause harm as they die off after frost hits and the tree still looks OK.
Did I mention that my daughter brought me some more of her garden tomatoes? I shall share these beauties! I've already saved seeds for next year from her first one!
Here! Have a better look!
