We will head out to the farm this afternoon and cannot wait to see if we finally had enough rain to encourage mushrooms to grow. It’s been so dry and crispy here throughout the summer and fall. We will check the rain gauge to see the level of precipitation but from Accuweather, it looks like it might be around an inch from the big storm that passed through Virginia this past week. We have been diligently carrying water to all of the recently planted pawpaws (Asimina triloba). We also got the roof on the lean-to finished before the weather arrived. It looks great and will protect the tractor this winter.

Thank you for the beautiful fall photos, I love the dense leaves of ground cover and the very tall colorful trees!
The farm was more drab this year than usual because of the draught but we still had some lovely color. The dogwoods and maples put in a show! 🤗
The maples as so hardy and do put on a show in Autumn and the dogwoods too, I agree.
Thank you Ned!
Amazing colors ❤
Thank you! It was a muted year for the foliage here but still very lovely indeed.
