Windy days and the Japanese maple still hasn't lost it's leaves
The Watchers. Not often that I can get them in one shot.
If you look carefully through the trees, you can see a ginormous house being built. Prissy and Gruff owned that plot of land and wanted to build a house for their daughter. Because of an unusually heavy rainfall in April of that year, the plot didn't pass the perk test and they were never able to build the house.
The November garden flag which looks similar to the September flag
Most of the leaves are down in the backyard.
How does your garden grow?
The Watchers take their job very seriously.
ReplyDeleteIndeed
DeleteLeaves are down here too. Except for a few stragglers. Did that piece of land pass the perk test because we've been so dry? Your all the leaves down view looks a lot like one of the views from my house. Less wind than yesterday-hurrah for that. Have a great one CJ.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it probably passed because it was so dry.
DeleteCutest watchers and lovely flag!! But ... soooo long till summer? ow. Well, we have to take what we get and make the best of it.
ReplyDeleteRight?
But tomorrow will be one less day, and the day after that, one less day....
DeleteKudos to the the Japanese maple for hangin' in there!

DeletePearshapedchris (otherwise I am anonymous!) What a beautiful tree! Your watchers make me smile - I do miss our Snowy! We still have lots of green trees around but also enjoying seeing the changing colours and the leafy ground cover! BTW I wish I could just pop round and help with your crafty space!!! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteI wish you could pop on over, too. I'd put the kettle on.

His human was not suppose to be out there... lol Everything is pretty much gone here... we are chilly at night , warm during the day , sunny.. after 4 inches of rain some weeds are trying to come back...sigh.. Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteWe are chilly at night and now chilly during the day. I think real November weather finally arrived.
DeleteYour Japanese Maple does still look good, such a wonderful colour.
ReplyDeleteI like your November flag.
All the best Jan
I didn't realize how long the Japanese maple holds onto its leaves. Even the oak leaves have fallen
DeleteThe watchers are so cute. We still have trees with lots of leaves. I love Japanese maple trees.
ReplyDeleteAt this time of the year, the Japanese Maple is a real show stopper
DeleteI love your watchers. Most of the leaves are down here in southern CT, but a few still have some. The oak trees seem to be one of the last ones to drop their leaves. And there is another tree type that has leaves on it, even after they turned yellow.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised how long the Japanese maple is holding on. We've had some pretty gusty winds this past week
DeleteWe had a very nasty brush fire over the weekend on Neversink Mountain in Reading. Yesterday, we finally got some well-needed rain here.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a shame about your neighbors house. :(
Love the pic of "the watchers"
