Autumn has arrived.

I spent the majority of the day at my uncle's house that he bought just down the block from our house. It is a good 3 acres plus, full of trees, flowering vines and wildlife.

There are pears all over the ground. Which I LOVE pears. These have to sit in a paper bag for a bit to ripen though, cause they are hard as a rock off the tree. This pear tree is tiny, and its laden to the hilt so heavily that its poor branches are sagging to the ground.

The pears on the ground are attracting critters from the woods nearby. The deer are coming in the early morning and late night, and while I was there a ground hog made a running dash for cover of the forest line.

I have been trying to get the trees trimmed while I was down there. There are loads of maples and box elders, all that have not been shaped or trimmed up for quite some time (preferably up over your head height).

All the leaves are turning wonderful shades of russet, gold, crimson... making this pleasant rustling sound as the wind blows through them gently. The pines and spruce trees are all perfuming the air with this exhilerating scent.

Makes me kinda wish I lived in the country again instead of the city. I can deal without the noise and smelly exhaust. I like the wildlife and nature.
