A friend out East told me about all the flooding and how it pretty much wiped out this season for small tourist towns. Hard to lose a year that way.<br /><br />Birches are lovely all yellow against blue sky.P. J.

It was one of those oxbows left by<br />a river shift some hundreds of years prior; still had a creek meandering through which emptied into the river which skirted campus<br />(little Niagara Falls they called it). The<br />plateau area that is now home is stark by<br />comparison, but our Birches in the yard DO<br />turn yellow. Did you catch that TV news thing<br />on the Vermont Fall color tourists? Apparently<br />some locals do most of their business those<br />few weeks (and term the tourists "leaf-peepers". ..business was down significantly<br />this year due to flood damaged roads.BB-Idahohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168862935045755393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7380040530270530705.post-41303280730472184452011-10-21T04:58:19.997-07:002011-10-21T04:58:19.997-07:00We still think there is more fall color yet to com...We still think there is more fall color yet to come. Many trees are still green, and despite the winds--you’d think all leaves would have been blown off—most trees are far from bare. I will post a photo later this morning (when I get to town) showing waves on Lake Michigan.P. J.

Still...it's so cold and miserable and windy and most of the leaves are long gone. I hear that Lake Michigan had huge waves today. Would have been interesting to see that.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824027366993286152noreply@blogger.com
