| Earth-tone beauty |
The
drive along the Clearwater River as we traveled to the farm on Sunday (Oct. 24)
was beautiful – lots of autumn yellow. And that yellowness continued on the
grade. It was a beautiful autumn world.

It
rained a lot Sunday afternoon. We spent the night but decided to return to town
Monday afternoon, mostly because of the weather. The rain makes the ground
muddy. As much as I’d like to spend more time on the farm during the cold
months, it’s just not a pleasant stay when it’s chilly and wet. I don’t mind
too much. I just stay in the house and enjoy the view, but Bess has to be
cleaned every time she comes into the house.

I
DID enjoy the autumn views, even though it's basically bleak. Looking toward the pond from the dining room
window, I could see a bush I’d never noticed before. That is, of course I knew
the bush was there, but I don’t think I’d ever seen it in autumn. It was red
and yellow intermingled. I just had to get closer to see that bush.

So,
before we left Monday afternoon, Bess and I took a turn around the pond so that
I could take pictures, which I post here. Perhaps you can see that the leaves
are yellow but the stems are red. The bush also has red berries.
Oh! You would ask for the name of the bush. I don’t know. I’m sure I could find out
but not right now. I do know that Mike planted it, though. It's not an old timer. KW

Sort of looks like a rose bush. The berries look like hips to me.
I think it's a rose bush, too, but I hated to say when I wasn't sure. I've never noticed this autumn beauty before, and I didn't think the other wild roses were so outstanding.
