Day 3.257: Fall leaf, but not tree!

Summer ended on Wednesday, so it seemed appropriate to post this picture from last weekend of an autumnal leaf in a gloved hand. In fact today the temperature made it up into the mid-80's so gloves were quite unnecessary.

This evening, I was treated to a guided tour of our property.  Quite a few of our trees are showing off their Fall colours rather spectacularly at the moment so it was nice to have a look around.  Exile #2 was my guide, pointing out the things that the arborist who had visited earlier had pointed out to her. He had come because of a couple of things that were concerning us, but she asked him to have a look around the rest of the yard too. He suggested a number of things needing attention - all completely obvious once you see them, not too scarily expensive, and a lot less bother than the result of leaving them undone might be.
