If the birds haven’t headed south already, today they would be leaving prints in snow instead of sand.

The last few days have been very windy and the wind was rearranging the leaves on the ground and tugged more oak leaves off. Walking through the woods could be tricky when dips were covered in deep leaves or objects were hidden under the thick autumn carpet.

Many were enjoying outdoor activities with the above normal temperatures today. And it may be the last warm day, until next spring, to sit outside without a jacket and watch the sunset with the high temperatures dropping thirty to forty degrees in the upcoming days.

One of the fall activities for some is raking leaves and kids love to jump into the piles. And four-legged kids like to jump, play and hide in the leaves too.

The above average temperatures today made it a perfect day to spend outdoors and for some that might have included some fishing time. Even this commercial fishing boat probably prefers the nice weather instead of cold and stormy. The seagulls follow the fishing boat around and some gulls even catch a ride back into the harbor.

I remember as a kid, drawing large circles using a nail, string and pencil. But if you didn’t hold the pencil straight, the circle may not have been perfect. Mother Nature has a bent stem of grass creating a circle when the wind blows.

The nice warm afternoon today after a snowy and cold week felt nice, but the autumn colors are only a memory and all too soon, the green field around this barn will be blanketed with white snow.

The nice warm afternoon after the snowy and cold week felt nice, but a walk through the woods today displayed most the autumn colors underfoot as the leaves coated the forest floor.

The mighty oak leaves had a range of colors a month ago, but now the ones that survived the recent windy days have a dull brown color.

In early October, a Sunday drive would have nice views of autumn colors but this Sunday the extremely windy night and morning has stripped most of the leaves off, even the tough oak leaves. This road would be a great sledding hill in the winter with the series of knolls plunging downward to the next one until it reaches the level of Lake Superior.
Down, Down, Down the Autumn Road
