Here we go again
Up and Down the Lane
Last day of September photos are HERE, see what's changed in a month.
The red leaves of the Sumac have gone Thank heavens the house doesn't actually lean like this photo shows!
The leaves are all off the poplars, just a few left on a willow
Still lots of leaves on this Elder
Some lovely moss on this tree-stump
Catkins on a Hazel already
If it's a clear day and you walk down the footpath to the end of our meadow and step out onto the farmers field, then zoom in, you can see 2 of the huge wind turbines - 5 miles away.
Col was cutting up the tree trunks behind the workshop with a gigantic and noisy borrowed chainsaw
He's cutting them into small slices and adding them to this heap, ready for splitting sometime in the future. Once split they'll be just right for the woodburner.

Thank you to everyone for so many interesting comments about Oak trees. I love doing posts like this which involve looking up information.

We have a sumac in a pot! It needs repotting into the garden but I am afraid I would kill it
ReplyDeleteI think they are pretty hardy
DeleteYour last photo, looks to me like a warm fire through out the winter, childhood memories, I would sit and watch flames for ages.
ReplyDeleteWe have enough wood split and under cover for this year so these will be for Winter 2018/19 or even 2019/2020!
DeleteCol has certainly been busy. How long will the stack of wood last you? I think I must be the only person who actually likes the look of wind turbines. Shoot me now :) xx
ReplyDeleteI don't mind turbines, these are on an old airfield now used for industry. I think they can be noisy if you are near them and distracting when the sun shines and they are in eyesight
DeleteI love the look of them. The ones out in the North Sea, look fabulous.
DeleteFellow wind turbine lovers! We need to set up a group :) xx
DeleteThat will make some super firewood! I love how red sumac gets in the fall. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteThe leaves fell so quickly from our tree
Deletewe didn't get to enjoy them for long
Hasn't October gone past so quickly. The changing colours of the leaves seems to have also happened so quickly - it is definitely heading towards the cooler months! Some great firewood you will have there.
ReplyDeleteThere are some lovely golds and yellows this year
DeleteI rather like the moss.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely colour at the moment
DeleteThere are several wind turbines around here...I don't dislike them...better looking than acres of solar panels. x
ReplyDeleteWhen my mom, son and I drove my daughter to Chicago from Los Angeles, we drove across New Mexico and the Texas panhandle. There were so many wind farms, and I had never really seen one up close. My goodness, they are immense. With so much open land on ranches, they are perfect for generating power and so much cleaner.
ReplyDeleteWe have a few more wind farms popping up here on the prairies. Wish we had more of them.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great deal of wood that will need to be split.
God bless.
