Fall Color
We’re rapidly moving toward fall here at Halfrey Cottage. Leaves are coming down from the trees like rain, and it seems we need to sweep the gravel just about every day to keep it tidy. Well, we don’t actually sweep it every day, thus it generally is not all that tidy.
Our hearts-a-bustin’, or euonymous, are showing their fall color. Right now they’re all covered with these red seed pods with the dangling red seeds. The dogwood would also be covered in red berries if the squirrels had not eaten every single berry two or three weeks ago, while they were still green.
The damp weather we’ve been having has caused a real burst of fungus activity. This big leafy looking fungus was growing under one of our anise bushes. I have no idea what it is, but it’s cool.
A lot of the old logs we have around the yard are starting to bloom with some nice looking wood fungus as well.
