The Virginia Creeper is starting to turn to fall colors and is just stunning this year. There are about 80 shades of greens, reds, orange, yellow, maroon, and wine colors.
The creeper also has an abundance of berries this year. Although the berries are poisonous to humans, they're eaten by chickadees and woodpeckers, squirrels, chipmunks, mice and skunks. Deer like them, too, but the berries are inside the fenced part of the yard so I don't know if the deer will find them.
The cottonwood tree also started turning in the past couple days. It looks like the cottonwood is going to be the same brilliant yellow-gold we've been seeing on the aspens. So far, I don't have any leaves turning on the birch tree.
I finally got a photo of my helper nephew yesterday. We've had a fun week together but he's going home today. His papa called last night to say they were home from vacation, had a great time, and would be by today to get Snozzie. Thanks for keeping me company this week, Snoz!
