Fall in the Texas hill country

Fall here is quite lovely. The trees begin to get their fall colors, and the mornings are cold. The days warm up and, with the addition of sunshine, are just lovely. You can sit outside and enjoy a meal or just view your surroundings. Some of the trees here have a halo of color with most of the leaves still green. The lawns are green and in continual need of mowing until the first hard frost. We have already had a mild frost which added color to our trees. Soon the leaves will begin to fall in earnest, and we will have a new job to clean them up. Several leaf blowers will get put to use. After our car chase and damage to our front fence, we had repair work to be done. The parts of the damaged fence had to be removed, replaced, and now painted. The new fence looked very clean and bright, and now the entire fence is being repainted. When this project is completed this week, we will be very spiffy looking here. Everything will be crisp and new looking. Happy travels.
