| In
late summer Bobo and George went for a short walk. |
 |
Our
firewood is stacked for winter. We hire a person to bring
firewood to us. For years we cut, split and hauled our own.
Having someone else do it gives us some free time on the weekends.
Bobo
is tasting a bit of grass before heading out. George took
this picture standing in the road in front of the shop

 |
Our
property has a number of roads passing through it. Some are
overgrown and have trees fallen across them. Others are like
this.
Bobo
especially likes to dive into the high grass on either side
of the road and stalk us.
|
 |
This
area, along the road, has a lot of moisture so there are several
varieties of ferns growing.
A
patch of Jewelweed has established itself here, also.
|
 |
This
is another variety of fern.

Some
of the prettiest wildflowers appear in late summer and early
fall. |
|
|
An
insect is getting nectar from a Touch-Me-Not flower. This plant
is also called Jewelweed and the juice from crushed stalks and
leaves is good for irritated skin, especially for treating poison
ivy. |

More
flowers.

Back
at home a small pine in the yard was being ravaged by two
kinds of caterpillars.
|
 |
The
caterpillars ate every green needle on the tree in a period
of a few days, killing it.
