Maple sugar

Our twin maple trees reached their fall color peak in recent days. The golden color is brilliant and I look forward to seeing it every year. The leaves are tumbling now, helped along by some windy weather. Soon the branches will be bare.

The view from the deck. The hedge (bottom) stays green all year. Some of the maple branches are already bare.

Thanksgiving (USA) is coming up next week. Already! We've started planning our annual meal. Not that there's much to plan; it's basically the same every year. Roasted leg of lamb, flageolet beans, Beaujolais Nouveau (being released this Thursday), and.pumpkin pie made with our garden sucrine squash.

  2. Maple trees are my favorite for fall color- there are so many in Kentucky and some in my neighborhood in AL.

  3. michael, gold is the predominant fall color where we live and these trees are of a unique shade. Not like the brilliant reds of home, but just as wonderful.

    evelyn, they were mostly red where I come from.

  4. Save some “pumpkin” pie for me! SG had some French toast with his bowl of maple syrup yesterday. That’s the way he does it.
