Its a hidden picture game! Can you see the big, overgrown tree branch that seems a bit out of place? Haha. That's Husband.......Man in Tree!! Should I call the Fire Department to rescue him? Hardly. He climbed up there of his own free will to trim branches off this tree next to his dad's house in our nearby small town. His dad passed on last fall and the house is not sold yet. The other day in the mail we received a letter saying the trees need to be trimmed.......15 feet above the street and 8 feet above the sidewalks!
The branches filled the pickup:
Oh, golly.......there he is up there again. I can't even watch him.......he makes me so nervous sometimes!
I'll just wander around, watching things on the ground, instead!
Leaves, leaves everywhere..........and not a rake in sight!! Too bad.
So many bright, beautiful red leaves here and there........but, wait.........this next one is not a leaf! Its a petunia!! A lonely little petunia in the onion patch.......I mean, the autumn leaf patch!!
Ho-hum. Might as well check the temperature on this trusty, old Yoder Feeds thermometer hanging by the garage door. Cool, but pleasant.......around 50 degrees or so. Ho-hum.
After Husband was finished showing off his tree-climbing and sawing abilities, we drove the branch-laden pickup to the outskirts of town where there is a dump area for yard waste.*
That's my post for the day.......not very exciting, but the tree trimming did need to be done. We'd sure like to sell the house soon to get the estate settled. If any of you have a hankering to live in a small, very quiet (or possibly, boring) Iowa town, and are in the market for an older house on which to practice your fix-up skills.......please let me know!!!

love the pictures but must question 40 degrees being plesant...i would be one happy camper if it never got below 65 degrees and I promise you that when it does here we are FREEZING(Like now)...stop laughing already... i never believed it but now i do we southern folk have much thinner blood and get cold way way easier than those who live above us....
I love the leaf photos. But I would totally freak out if my husband climbed up in a tree like that.
Hey, Laura.....you got me thinking so I enlarged the thermometer photo and actually it was 50 degrees, not 40! Thank you!! I'm going to change it.

Hi, Ruth,
Yeah, he climbs silos and bins and trees. There's nothing I can do to stop him. My best choice is to not watch!
Every post doesn't have to be swash-buckling exciting, now does it? Mine surely aren't! I do put a disclaimer right on my banner, though, to "try not to get too excited".
Love the pictures of your leaves and the little flower hidden in them.
I'm very glad your DH got the limbs trimmed without mishap; I fully appreciate your concern. Love the leaf photos and the lonely little petunia.
Your previous post on the "Wapsi" was most interesting; the photos of the river and bridge are beautiful.
I haven't had time to stop by much lately. Sorry about that. I love the colors your trees are turning. Just beautiful. Ours are barely even turning yet.
Your leaf pictures are lovely...after this weekends 50 MPH winds...most of our trees are "naked":)
country girl,
Oh, but your blog's photos are always so beautiful that they ARE exciting! Hope you're having a good day!

neva,
Yes, the wind on Sunday brought down many leaves, and dead branches, which is a good thing. Thanks for stopping in!
Oh that looks so dangerous. I am glad your hubby finished up with no mishaps.
Why do men feel the need to climb to the highest point around to either work on something or to take a look see at the world??? Scares me silly!! Lovely idea to focus on the ground and take all of the those wonderful fall shots. The color in the leaves are stunning and I love the pink in the flower peaking out from all of the leaves.
My favorite photo is the red leaf leaning up against the old wood with the green and gold leaves around the bottom......Just love it!
