Changes

#1

Frank and Lois hired a local landscape company to redo the flower beds in their front yard.  The crew ended up working harder at taking out the decades old bushes and flowers than at installing the new plants.  To make maintenance easier they added edging bricks all around the beds and filled them with easy to care for flowering bushes and rock.  This was the same company that landscaped the gazebo for the wedding.

The leaves are about finished changing color and now they are dropping to the ground.  These pictures were taken from our back balcony.  In the first picture below you can see the farm field through the trees for the first time since spring.

I've changed my walking path.  I know walk further on Snow Cemetery than I previously.  Here is a picture of a stream I crossed near the dairy farmers property.
