A Beautiful Day Of Near Nothing

An Indian summer with dry sunny days and highs near 80 has coincided with the arrival of the first real push towards fall color. Beneath the turning forest is a fluffy ocean of blue that continues to gain in intensity.



A day like this just calls for a slow stroll around the mountain top to contemplate the thought of doing nothing.



The Dogwoods are now very red.



A Bosnian Pine, Pinus leucodermis was safely tucked into its new home yesterday.



The Sheffie Mum is in its prime.



The day was too perfect for work. So I drove slowly over the mountains and through the valleys to attend my second Soiree at Kalamazoo.

Very, very lovely. A forest of ethereal light.

Just beautiful! I love the picture of the cozy cabin through the trees. That Pine will definitely create shelter in the nakedness of winter!

Oh that blue, it's gorgeous. A leisure stroll would be divine on a lazy warm day. I can see how a person would not want to work on such a lovely day.
I to love the pic of the cozy cabin through the trees. The little pine will do great.
That Mark Pruett could be a relative. That was what my mothers maiden name was. Great music.
