and then...

And then it is winter and the laptop hard drive died, about the same time the roof succumbed to age, as did the furnace.  All are recovered now.  Except the bank account but it isn't a fatal blow.  I'll try to add more pictures, although I'm not sure for what purpose.   Does one need a purpose?

When I was in 9th grade our Biology Teacher gave us an assignment of finding leaves from a dozen different types of trees.  Being a serious student (history, algebra, literature, journalism) I thought it a boring project, not worth my serious time so grabbed the first ten leafs I saw and turned in a very average report.   I was very foolish for nothing - save having a certain K9 along on these treks - is more enjoyable than strolling through the woods, imagining the varous tree poses.
