Rake up the leaves.............

This is it, the last of the leaves are coming down. Our town picks them up at the curb a couple of times and just prior to the dates they give us, everyone is out raking. Making a supreme effort to get those leaves out to the curb. It has been rather windy and so they are more often back up in the air than in neat piles at the curb. It is actually rather pretty.


The colours are still beautiful but most of the trees are bare now...........still a few piles left up there though..........



There are some lovely berries still on the trees.




So many this year so many pretty berries



The cardinal baby survived. (thank you, thank you very much) she still comes about every day. She has found the grapes, she does like the bird seed though and I hope she survives the winter. She had a good beginning and is a tough girl. I hope she builds her nest here next year.
