After The Storm...

After The Storm
  

We had rain most of the past week, and after the rain rolled through on Thursday, this was our view from our porch. Do you see the double rainbow? It was beautiful - and HUGE!  That's a hickory tree in our front yard (to the left of the image). 

While there are lots of hickory nuts on the tree, this year the leaves turned all blotchy, and the nuts have yet to drop. The trees on our south tree line have been dropping nuts for weeks. Andy picked up ten five-gallon buckets in one day. That means, I'll get lots of shells for syrup if I need them. (I'm planning to make syrup this weekend!)

As the sun went down behind the woods, the western sky was equally glorious. Days and nights are cooler. Trees are changing color, and daylight is getting shorter. Such is Autumn in Wisconsin. I love this time of year. It's my favorite season.

    I too love Autumn, but it's been a rainy one so far.

    1. Hi Marilyn:
      Our neighbor, Shelly - a farm girl - said, "We really need rain." Well, we sure got it! We've been teasing her about it since. Saturday was beautiful and sunny, and the same is expected for Sunday and Monday. I intend to make the most of it!
      Happy Weekend.

  2. Such a perfect rainbow! Rained last night here and supposed to get more today and then the temps are going to drop. I just hope the snow holds off until we get our winter tires on the middle of November....earliest appointment we could get. If it snows before then I won't be going anywhere!

    1. Hi MA:
      I'll pray snow holds off for you, too. I have a craft event on November 21st. I'm hoping I'm not loading in and out in the snow, for sure!
      Happy Weekend!
