Apple Picking and the Persimmons






The Persimmon tree is loaded with fruit!  What does this indicate about the weather? Unfortunately heavy winds today and yesterday are knocking them down before they are ripe. They will just have to ripen in the house.  I will have persimmon bread and pudding for Thanksgiving!












   

When we go down to the apple tree, Luli always brings one apple back.  She really rather chase it as it rolls down the driveway than eat it.

Fall and those colors!

What is not to love about Fall and all the colors that arrive? Everything seems to be in red, orange, yellow....makes you want to paint!



























Persimmons are not ripe yet, but the fruit is much prettier at this stage.
