Moulting


My working title for this second post of the week was “More Autumn Appreciation,” but yesterday a stereotypical Pacific NW front blew in and we're still getting buffeted by wind, rain, and blowing tree debris. The trees that have yet to turn (like the Japanese maples at the front of our house) might still bless us with fall color, but a lot of others are 'moulting' – like half my hens right now. 😉 I took the photos above this morning.

But before those dreary views dawned, I had taken many others here and around town to share with you:
sunrise and valley fog from our deck

color on my deck

color along our driveway

color in the vineyards stretching off to the east along our lane

color planted in front of a vineyard
early camellias in town


starlings in the sky on my way home (I'm watching for murmurations!)

from the parking lot at work
deep valley fog one morning (no tree 'islands')

"Make zzzzz's while the sun shines"

a small harvest before the rain came; the volunteer kale is SO good

Happy November(!) from . . .
