You can see a touch of spring and summer lupine … in the Fall out on Birch Hill! Thanks to Will Parent for sharing the photo from his meadow yesterday.
I captured the deer and turkeys this morning from my desk out grazing in our orchard.
We’re all hoping this tease of a bit of rain comes through. Meanwhile, we might have thunderstorms so be sure to keep an eye out in case those bolts of lightening come our direction. It is always wise to unplug your electronics and anything you appreciate not getting fried in a storm. More info for preparing for thunderstorms about half way down on ‘Resident Tips’.
Happy Weekend Everyone!

From a Flatlander:
How’s the fall color doing so far this year?
We just got blasted by the Santa Ana winds this week in Orange County.
Which makes me wonder if the leaves haven’t blown-off the trees already.
Any guess that you have about the peak this year would be appreciated.

Hello Big Jim! Leaves are thinking about turning… almost. You can come up for a few days and maybe catch some color!
