Fall and Beauty

I had to add this beautiful picture of my minature japenese maple.  It was in a pot on my deck 20 years ago and then it got planted here at Holst Rd.  It is so beautiful now that i hate to leave it so i will save the picture and remember it in all its glory.Fall is my favorite time of year.  The colors are so warm and deep they take my breath away. How did God come up with all these colors and hues?
The weather here now is rainy and it was cold but now it is in the 50's.  The constant rain gets irritating at best at times but often it does stop and then its just damp, or cold, and not rainy.  I doubt i should complain now with all the people on the east coast having the troubles they are having.
Iris and I are going on an adventure this week.  We are going to a workshop on rally freestyle.  A combination dance and obedience sport.  So we will have a weekend of time to ourselves.
