When I started this blog, I knew I would find it hard to work on a post when the weather was nice and I wanted to be outside or, conversely, when bad weather was coming and I had to prepare for it. Now I have gone several weeks without posting, and things in the Hollow have gone through some seasonal changes. I won’t try to catch up all at once but plan to get back to posting more regularly. (Of course, now I have errands and tasks related to the holidays, so we’ll have to wait and see how this goes.)
Shortly after the last post, I heard the trees whispering. I didn’t know what they were saying, but is seems they were plotting to drop their leaves all at once.
Some of them refused to follow along, particularly the beech and a few oaks, and the top leaves of some poplars hung on for a while.
As the leaves fell, I found some colorful leaves—some of them were gigantic!
Although the leaves are mostly gone, there is still plenty of beauty in the Hollow.
The deer come regularly (some come when I call), and the turkeys come running when they hear the deer.
They are ready to eat now, and I’ll post again soon!
