Fall Colors

Last weekend while driving back from Minneapolis, I stopped to get some pictures of the sumac growing in the ditches along the highway. We don't have much growing in eastern SD.

I enjoy the various red and purple colors of the plant this time of year.

With the hard freeze last night, the leaves of the ash trees littered the roads today. Those trees are bare. Many of the other trees are slow in turning autumn colors. And now it is snowing. Yes, snowing in eastern SD on October 9th with possibility of more to come this weekend.

It is time to head south like the birds.
