Our most beautiful fall ever.
Perfect temperatures and calm winds, lots of blue sky day after day. This wasn’t typical for us and we loved our walks each day.
Our fall color was exceptional and lasted much longer than usual. We were bothered by brown pine needles and constantly deep watering. But a late date for first frost meant the canna lilies were still putting out lovely new flower stalks. I was most intrigued by the tiny volunteer red maple by the driveway.
Once I got started I spent days and tried the leafsnap app to figure out what this beautiful little thing would eventually be. I was pretty sure it was some sort of red maple, but that wasn’t enough. I needed to know more.
