Hey did everyone have a great fall?
It seems like I just had the windows open and was listening to the cicada drone on. The days were warm and my biggest worry was what the fall foliage season would be like!
What a glorious foliage season it was! Were there disappointments? Sure but those rainy days provided their own special beauty and I ran into my own share of rain on trips through the New England country side.

Greetings, Foliage Peepers!
One of the more enjoyable things I got to do this fall foliage season was to meet a few of the Yankee foliage forum members. I was able to finish my stay in Barre, MA, over the Columbus Day weekend on Monday and then Tuesday I met Mary Jo and her husband Leroy for a tour of Salem.

Greetings Foliage Peepers!
The fall season is waning into the coming (dreaded) winter season and I'm already looking back and enjoying all the memories I captured while exploring the New England countryside.
I love going to the Yankee foliage contest and looking at the wonderful pictures that all the other readers have entered into the contest, I'm literally in awe! And speaking of contests my blog contest was won by Susan Bot of Connecticut. She told me she had never won anything so this was a really good fall season for her. I hope to have a similar contest next fall so keep your eyes open for that.

Greetings Foliage Peepers!
I had to drive around Salem and Marblehead this morning and there is still some nice color in both towns. I even saw a nice red tree over near west shore drive and Atlantic Ave, so all the reds aren't gone yet. I have a lot of gold trees on my street (Traders way in Salem) but most of my red oaks are turning brown now... (rats)!

Greetings haunted leaf peepers!
Well Halloween has come and gone for another year. We had help setting up our ghastly graveyard from our friends (Rich, Adele and Kira) who drove in from Farmington, NH, for this Friday's Halloween.
I'm looking back on Friday night to make notes for next year. I noted that we did our best to scare the pants off the kids in the neighborhood.
