Yesterday - tiring of planting tulip bulbs - I went on my annual search for Witch Hazel
and found it blooming where it always is, way out near Brookfield. I usually bring home a few sprigs to put in a vase on the kitchen table, but the Brookfield Township Highway Crew had been overly-efficient and created a v-e-r-y wide ditch betwixt me and the twigs! My fault for being late!




Most of our really bright, eye-catching bits of foliage seem to be the leaves of "woodbine," climbing tree trunks and draping branches still covered with green leaves.


Most maples are still dull .........


..... even those near Gorton Lake.


It's so dry that a cloud of dust follows vehicles in fields and on back roads.

Fun mailbox in Brookfield!


Autumn Friends at June's, on Frog Park Road.

OUCH!

They'll meet again, today, at 5:00.
Boston's in LA, and the game begins at 8:30.

It seems strange to be celebrating Columbus Day so early, but
whatever you do, have a fun, safe weekend!


AND .....

remember to talk to your friends and family about making a donation in memory or honor of someone special to the

Memorial Bandstand Fund!
