The back yard leaves come in three colours now.

We have yellow, red and orange cherry tomatoes still ripening - even though Allan only bought two kinds of seeds!

The dark red maple is slowly turning yellow and losing leaves.

(24:10:2021)
The back grass has almost disappeared now.

The Pine Siskins have returned and found our feeders.

(24:10:2021)
The front yard has lots of colours too.

(24:10:2021)

The windy days have brought down a lot of cherry leaves too.

Here's a closer look at those Japanese maples!

About 20 minutes after the pictures above were taken, the forecast wind and rain storm arrived with a "whoosh"!

(24:10:2021)
The clean, empty gutters didn't have a chance of containing it.

(24:10:2021)
About 8 mm of rain in the first half hour.

The field of leaves to deal with! Luck because it was raining when the picture was taken!

This is what the back yard looked like the very first time we saw the house! Remember saying at the time "wonder what fool would buy this?".

Not very often we get to be in one of these yard pictures (come to think about it any pictures)!

This is the size of the average leaves this fall.

Indoors - it's Zygo cactus season.

These were outdoors for the summer and started to bud as soon as they came inside.

(21:10:2021)
These two plants have moved from the basement to the living room window so we can enjoy them.

Our next door neighbour's yard guy said he would come and pick up the leaves in the back yard, so Allan blew them off the beds at the edges to make the job easier.

Left photo is 12:30 PM, right photo is 4 PM. Removal only took about 30 minutes. Oh to be young and energetic!
