The river is high but it’s back within its banks where it belongs. Ida left us with plenty of clean up jobs around the yard and the gardens which will take some time to finish.
As payment for our toils and perhaps to make up for the terrible Nor’easter, Mother Nature rewarded us with an explosion of reds and yellows in the few trees left with leaves around the yard. The color season has really come to a close in Tidewater but whether this was Mother Nature’s apology or not, it sure made us whistle while we worked on Nor’Ida’s clean up.

Now I understand that Ida was the name of that nasty storm. I’m sorry…. but it could have been worse.
What a beautiful display of autumn colours and how nice that you have a ginko tree 🙂
Thanks for sharing the lovely images.

Yes, I agree. The storm could have been a lot worse. We were very lucky!

Is the maple tree gone yet?

NO! It is a big tree. A kind neighbor’s log splitter arrives this weekend for the canopy of the tree. The trunk must be hauled away!
