The Fall Before A Killer Freeze

Fall color was looking mighty good in the Land of the Crooked Shed.

The Fraser Magnolia was in full tobacco leaf apparel.

The blue asters bloomed on in one of the best showings in years.

It was beautiful out there.

A touch on the dry side. Some things couldn't wait for a desiccating freeze.

A killer freeze was on the way.

On the second day, frozen clouds rubbed the treetops, shedding tiny white bits as they headed south. The meadow thinned. The trees shed half their leaves. The mood has shifted.
