Greetings and welcome!
We are starting another beautiful day this morning. Again we are expecting temps around 70 and fair weather. That is pretty much the weather story until about Wednesday of next week.
Being fall, it does get a little cool overnight still. Lows in the 40-45 degree range are to be expected. This is the type of morning chill that I use popple and basswood for, it burns fast makes enough heat to take the chill off, and goes away.
Anyway, the fall colors are progressing into a late show. The oaks are going red and there is stil a lot of yellow out there. The early stuff is done, but there is still a lot of color.
The insect world is enjoying the warm days. The biggest player is the gnat, but there is a wide assortment of lady beetles & bugs, wasps, and flies.
I figured out where the paper wasps are nesting this year. Again they went for the peak of the work shed. New this year is the almost bowling ball sized nest under the bedroom air conditioner. That one died yesterday morning at first light.
In events we have a few good local ones..

I haven’t been too far since our last visit, so I don’t have much to offer for a critter report.
Well it is a beautiful soon to be 70 degree day outside, and I am off to jump into it. Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
