Our First Freeze

Last night , well early this morning we got our first freeze. Was 28° about day light. I was not ready for the cold. Course I never am. We have been getting a little rain again. So what a blessing that is. A little fall color, nothing like in the North East. Most of the time we go from green to brown. With the drought a lot of the trees were already brown.
Anyway I am gonna post some photos taken in front of the house coming up the drive. Now if you want to see some real fall photos check out my friends blog. He lives in Main, where they have some real color. http://hikinginmainewithkelley.blogspot.com/
East Texas Color, well I thought they were pretty. Bill

Cooler Weather

Things are happening. With the cooler weather, I see changes taking place. What trees didn't die in our bad drought this summer are changing leaf color. I bet they are needing a rest. We are picking up some small showers. Although we are still under a burn band. The birds are leaving for warmer areas. mostly just the humming birds have left. But I see others coming in from the North. Most will be here all winter.
 Chiles: The Chiles I have in pots will be brought in for the winter. These are some special plants I like to keep growing. Especially my Chile Pequin plants. I love those things, they can really spice up a dish or your life. Its one of those things that I don't leave home without. I also have about 20 pineapple plants. Why? I haven't a clue. They will also have to come in.Thanks Bill
