We interrupt the Angoulême travelogue for a little fall color. This is our neighbors' catalpa (one of two, the other is directly behind this one). Every autumn we get a nice burst of yellow and gold from these trees, not to mention other trees and shrubs in their yard. We're moving into the peak for fall color now.

It rained most of the day and through the night last night. I don't know how much we got, yet. It's still too dark to read the rain gauge. Last week, the gauge overflowed, so we know we're getting a good amount. The rain comes in bands, so it has a chance to soak in between bands rather than run off. That's a good thing.
Spectacular red streaked red sunrise this morning at sparrowfart (Yorkshire expression for very early morning!😂),
ReplyDeleteBrilliant sunshine now after lots of rain this week. Floods in some parts of the country. Our sandy souls drain well.
Lifting potatoes on the farm. Pats.
Soils!
ReplyDeleteI didn't even see the mistake until you pointed it out! I read it soils!!
DeleteThat's the kind of rain we need.
ReplyDeleteYes... "so it has a chance to soak in between bands rather than run off"
ReplyDeleteThe millstream behind the house is still a trickle, barely ankle deep.... the ground is really, really thirsty!
I enjoy a bit of fall color; thank you for posting some.
ReplyDeletepats, potato lifting. Sounds like a competition at a county fair. ;)
