B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for October 22, 2017

Well, blow me down!

And shiver me timbers!

The Cute Chick can see the wind?

Many years ago, I drove up the East coast to enjoy the fall leaves. It had snowed the week before in one of the New England states, so I was in a hurry to catch it before it was gone. It was September.

Autumn gust became August.

I mentioned earlier: this year leaves are not showing color at all. They fall while green and turn brown on the ground. Guess mid-Virginia’s record summer heat and lack of rain are showing their effects. Unfortunately nature has treated western states much worse and we pray for them.

And you couldn’t blow her dress up? Stupid wind…

This is it. You have about a 30 second window for peak color. Sumacs are the worst. They are so pretty, but while they’re turning, you have a mix of red and green that looks drab from a distance, and by the time they’ve all turned, half the leaves have fallen off.

Cave people got binoculars!

That’s dis-gusting. #BadPunNoCookie

Down in Florida,our leaves came down with the last blast of summer (along with branches and the occasional tree trunk)

So, binoculars were invented in B.C. era, eh?

My wife loves to see the leaves turn on our maple tree in our yard. All I can see is all the work I have in cleaning the stupid things up!
