A day in the life...

Yes....fall has come to the Atlanta area.
While I know many get a little saddened at this....I welcome it...as does Rocky. With falls arrival this week the temperature at night has dropped...come morning it is wonderful to get out and about. While the temperature during the day is still warm....signs of fall are all around us. The S.E is a bit slower to show the beautiful fall colors....but it is coming.
Our Catalpa tree is pretty bare with the leaves scattered across the lawn what leaves are left are yellow and brown....the pods that hang down are brown as well.

This was the first year that all three of our trees flowered....lots of pretty small white flowers. Also this was the first year that they had the pods....all three trees.



The leaves on the apple tree have also started discoloring and falling....and the tiny apples are scattered about. I thought for sure the squirrels would be eating these little morsels....all are left to rot until I rake them up. I did not plant this tree and must confess that my knowledge on fruit trees is...well I know nothing about them. Pretty sad too for this tree has taken root and has grown pretty fast. Each season I notice the buds, enjoy the tiny flowers and really have never taken care of it....it just grows. I will have to do a little reseach for it does not look healthy and the apples are so very tiny....not even sure if they are edible??

The Arrival of Autumn...
