The Dogwoods are turning red here, and a few Maples. I'll have to post some pics here in a week or 2. We are supposed to be in the mid thirties here by the end of the week.

Beautiful country and pictures, Rose. Seems like leaves here have started to turn almost overnight and a cold front is on the way, after 5" of rain the last two days. I'm not ready for this (mentally).

Our fall colors are real intense for a day then the leaves on that tree are brown the next. They just aren;t hangin on for a week or two at a time like usual.

The local weather person noted the other day that in the areas that had drought problems, the trees will turn faster, with more vibrant colors than usual, but then will lose the leaves faster than normal also.

I thought that was an interesting bit of info myself!

Hi Rose. Where have you been? I had been hoping you wouldn't need bailing out of the local county jail with that crazy neighbor of yours.

Nice pictures.

LOL :lol: nope, they aint put them "fancy braclets" on me yet!

LOL im sure she thought i was stalking her while i was taking pic

. LOL i have been busy working on fence along rd, but ill be back to poke the bees nest when i do the other prop line. she said fire dept couldnt get to her house because of my fence,legaly we gave her 12 ft but i gave 15-16 feet inbetween my fence for road way, talked to the chief of fire dept, the trucks are 8 ft. and he didnt know any thing about fire dept comming and looking at road.
well just nip that before it gets out of hand. im thinking she gonna burn her house down and blame me for fire dept not putting it out... but im still farmming! hogs are looking real good! Rose

Noticed NWS is calling for snow in parts of Wva and Va on Thurs.night Hope you dont get too much and break the trees.

yeah i seen that on radar.. i hope we dont get any.. but where we are in wv we'll get it.. the leaves arent falling much yet, few yr back we had the worst ice stome i had ever seen or heard of.. sounded like a war zone power off for a week, trees broke for two days and nights. the woods hasnt recoped from that one yet still alot of storm whiped trees leaning.. it was scary hearing trees braking and falling alnight..

Beautiful place, Rose. Is some of that reclaimed strip mine land?

yes it was done the the early 70's some parts are pretty flat. { really hummpy bummy} with a pond, back behind the camper in a pond cove thats pretty good size peice of land dont look it from top of hill but once you go there it pretty nice or it will be in time
i keep cutting out more and more.. need lime big time soil very hot with acid..but i have a n acer in blueberry plants,, the soil is perfect for them.. the highlands and mules love the brush thay have help clean up a lot.. fencing is not the easiest there... have to jackhammer the post holes.. for me i jst cant get the fence built fast enough LOL Rose

what a beautiful looking place. Something has gone wrong with our Autumn this year our trees are still green in full leaf and it is warm, usually by now we need coats and gloves and scarves, but still walking about in t-shirts as it is so warm, 21C in October, very strange, not normal. hope it is not a sign of a really bad winter to come. ;-)

I thought so. That much flat land is hard to come by in our area and old strip mines make excellent farms except, as you said, it's hard to get the soil in shape. Still, it's a beautiful place and you've done well with it.
