What a difference a month (or a week makes)

We have five acres of land.  Vince just keeps saying "I never thought I would have one and now we have five".  Lucky most of it is trees so not a lot to cut....also lucky the house had a care taker (Rusty) so we retained him for the summer to cut the grass.  The one thing I was looking forward to being back in the suburbs was Fall and the leaves changing colors.  And I was really looking forward to our five acres turning beautiful shades of red, orange and yellow.  It took a little longer then expected and was interrupted by an unexpected Halloween weekend snow storm but the property is just as beautiful as I expected it would be.  Of course, this also means all those lovely leaves will fall to the ground...good thing Rusty is happy to get some work to take care of them.
