is always special in Michigan. The calm before the storm. The last of shirtsleeve weather. Final days of mowing. Cold nights and warm days. Should we turn the heat on to take the chill off in the morning? Leaves beginning to change colors.
After a week and a half away the yard needed mowing. And we did that. Also cleaned up twigs and branches and picked up pine cones brought down by the early-week winds.
Then in the afternoon we went geocaching at Wolcott Mill Metropark. Trails were drying after the rains. Leaves changing. Two other cars in the parking lot. Found five of six caches and dropped the three travel bugs we picked up in Snoqualmie last Sunday.
And lots of ash trees cut down, dead from the Emerald Ash Borer introduced into southeast Michigan from Asia around 2002. In addition there will be more to cut--we saw several stands of dead ash on our walk. Now other trees will have room to flourish but that will take years to see.
All in all, a great day.
