Howdee all,
Considering how it could have been for us…
We fared quite well.
Just a few inches and the area has power.
From the news reports, Most of CT is out of power..
We were ready for the worst
..my parents have a generator and so does Homey.
We would have been fine.
Frozen pink petals..
Trees and branches are laden down with snow and breaking, under its weight.
They weren't ready to give up their autumn glory, so soon..,,,
to the heavy blanket of white.
Howdee all,
We are expecting a Noreaster.
On the coast here in CT. The weather forecasters haven't figured out how much snowfall we might get. I have heard anything between sleet and five inches.
Not too much snow in the scheme of things.. Other areas will be harder hit.
With leaves still on the trees still screaming out autumn, this could potentially be a big mess.
They expect power outages from fallen trees and limbs.
So- yesterday...I tried to savor what autumn looks like.
It hasn't even peaked here yet.. Still allot of green that hasn't changed to its autumn color.
Before the snow coats the colors with a blanket of white.
It's chilly here in CT
We don't leave here until after the 6th sometime.
We will do a slow migration south.
Stopping In NC for a month or so to visit Sicksta.
We may stop and visit a few birds on the way.. Not sure where yet- perhaps Cape May or the Outer Banks of NC.
For now- we wait for the storm.
To cover the color of autumn.

Howdee all,
What do four hikers do when they see puffball mushrooms in the woods?
Sniff them?
Pick them?
Eat them?
Admire them?
No~
They create a
Woodland princess..
The Paparazzi were all over that!
No mushrooms were harmed in the making of this blog post.
Howdee all,
Are you getting your 20 bird minimum requirement of birds?
“The former Bird RDA is now the 20 Bird Minimum Daily Requirement. This new designation more clearly states the purpose of the distinction--that birders need to see a minimum number of species each day in order to stay sharp. .”

Howdee all,
Sunday ~ Jeff and I went for a hike up Lantern Hill with Sicksta Tink and her hubby Joe.
The colors weren't as vibrant as last years hike.
I don’t know if we are just a bit too early or its just not going to be as colorful as last year.
Its getting chilly here in Connecticut and soon we will head south..
But, until then…lets go for a walk…
Lantern Hill
I was hoping to find some edible mushrooms that were familiar to me..
I didn’t..
Tree base bursting with mushrooms…
Mushroom Idontknowus..butverycoolus
Most of the colorful leaves I found were small saplings.
Pond reflecting fall’s color…
I loved this color combination
A lovey Autumn hike…
