It has been so beautiful here in Arkansas today. I spent most of the day in the yard, hauling leaves, trimming branches on trees and preparing the gardens for winter. Our colors turned a bit late this year, perhaps due to the hard freeze we had after the trees were all leafed out in the spring. I have a few leaves in their fall colors for your viewing pleasure Here! The leaves shown at left are Sycamore, and the ones below are Sugar Maple.
