First, the meteorologists mentioned 3-6 inches of snow for our area. But the weather system stayed further north. We were lucky; we got about an inch.

This evening I walked around in the yard, looking for photo material. And I was not disappointed. From Acorns to Sedum, I found quite interesting September material. Autumn makes its entrance very slowly. Today I saw that our birch tree began changing its dress from Summer green into Autumn gold. The acorns and samaras begin to drop to the ground more frequently. The hostas display their last blooms. And the sedum has a beautiful pink to show off in our wildscape garden. Since Ida’s visit, we have cooled down considerably. Autumn shouldn’t be too far away anymore.

A few days ago, “Ida” was a Category 4 Hurricane making landfall in Louisiana. It has weakened to a Tropical Depression and is causing a lot of rain in New England. So far, we have been on the path of “Elsa”, “Fred”, “Henri”, and “Ida” during this storm season. And we still have three months to go before the Hurricane Season 2021 is over. Well, we “enjoy” the ride Mother Nature has in store for us.
