All the leaves are gone.

It was a beautiful warm fall day to ride today and we found some great mountain roads...but the trees are bare now. Still fun, but the magic was not there as it was a week ago. The Spyder will spend most of it's time indoors for the next few months. Really glad we got a good one in today.

Sounds like a song by the Mommas and Poppas

All the leaves are gone

And the sky is blue.....

Get yourself a leaf blower!
(You can even use it for cleaning out the house... )

Leaves are not a problem here, but the acorns . They're everywhere! Crushed in tire treads, tracked into the house ..... I'm glad my Spyder is kept in the garage.

We've got 2 walnut trees and an oak tree (among others) and the squirrels love us in the fall gathering all the walnuts. Our neighbors harvest the ones that fall outside our fence.

BTW - Walnuts drop walnuts and those could become new walnut trees. Oak trees drop acorns which could become new oak trees. Why aren't acorns called oak nuts?

Because the folks who named the Walnuts; had no imagination.

Walnuts Yum! I'd love to have Walnut trees. I can't bake with acorns.

Oak nuts.......good question.

We do not have any snow here in the North East yet( in the valleys) but some in the mountains. Usually the week of Thanksgiving the ski areas open up for the season. Next week the traveling is looking good, no major snow storms WOHOO! Deanna

Bob, I have a yard vac, but with all the rain lately, gonna be a while before I can even start on the task of removing them.

I like riding during the three to four weeks after the leaves have fallen. It opens up the view on some of the mountain rides I do. What is a tree lined road in summer, opens up into huge mountain and valley vistas that remain unseen unless you pull off the road to peek through openings in the trees during spring/summer.

A lot of the view was missing on the three mountain rides we did when NtA visited AK in July. It is a completely different ride in early spring and late fall.

...But the handiest aspect of a leaf blower... is that you can take it into the house, open up some windows, and fire it up!
No more dusting chores!!

Why are deep fried Turkey testicles (NUTS) called 'Rocky Mountain oysters' around here in Okieville?

Sam

[Bob Denman]

Because if you called them what they really are, on the menu; you'd never sell a single plateful!

(Or is it a bowlful?)

[flaggerphil]

Still lots of leaves up here.

I think Rocky Mountain oysters are from bulls (steers), not turkeys.

In my area its pecan harvest time. We still have about 20 gallons of pecans from last year. across the street is a pecan orchard and during harvest, they shoot air cannons off all day long. It sounds like war outside.
