The oak leaf is trying to get out of the snow but the snow isn’t letting go of its grip yet and winter appears to be staying.

The Black-eyed Susans have lost their former spectacular glory which had filled the landscape with yellow and black earlier but even in their faded life, they do provide seeds for the Goldfinch to eat as winter approaches.

The oak leaves were white again this morning but this time it wasn’t frost making them white but instead they were covered with snow, even the leaves still on the trees.

When I looked outside this morning, the ground was white but at least it was only frost and since it was clear enough to form frost, you knew the sun would be up soon to melt the frost away. Tomorrow could be white with snow so I will take the frost instead of snow even if the frost probably felt heavy on the fallen leaves.

The farm fields have been busy with activity the last few weeks with harvest but the harvest method varied greatly from the super huge combines, to older smaller combines and corn pickers, and even cut by hand and shocked into bundles to let the corn dry down like my grandparents did.

It is nice to see the sun out this morning, after all it is ‘Sun’day. Course seeing sun rising anytime after a grey week is a good thing.

The yellow and green of the Poplar (or Popple) tree are often overlooked but add a splash of fall colors too even though I am finding more green than yellow leaves on the ground this year with the strong winds.

This oak leaf is trying to hang on to summer as it knows fall is always too short with winter around the corner. I just want to hang on to some sunshine with the grey days of November in full force.

Today is All Hallow’s Eve, of course better known as Halloween, a night filled with children trick or treating and witches, ghosts, pumpkins, and other scary things are often seen. Black cats are also associated with Halloween but these kittens might be the ones getting scared if they should read what is painted on the door they are hanging around.

Most counties in Wisconsin are now listed as past color peak and only a hand full of counties are at peak color so you have to enjoy the color when you can as it disappears quick.
