The pecan trees are loosing their leaves. |
On Saturday morning the weather was very fall like. Our walk took us through the pecan orchard where the pecan trees have lost most of their leaves. Some of the trees are putting out a second flush of leaves which will last until the frost. The grass which was cut a couple of weeks ago is growing back and will also hang on until the first heavy frost which will occur in about a month. As we walked down to the pig farm I noticed a yellow flower which I believe is evening primrose. This flower is blooming in profusion on the roadsides now as are numerous others.

It looks like evening primrose. |
The weather on Saturday morning was very comfortable with beautiful blue skies and temperatures in the low 60's. The dog loves this kind of weather and is always ready for his walk on a cool morning. His thick fur coat and fat make him a heat collector so he really enjoys going out and laying in the cool wet grass. Fall and late winter are the times of year when people around here get out and get things done that would otherwise kill you in the summer. My weekends and days off will be occupied with all of the tasks a home owner has to do until the rainy wet part of winter in December and January. So let's get to work. Thanks for reading my Blog. Bye.
