Like the leaves turning color and falling marks the change of seasons at the end of summer. Their arrival marks the beginning of the summer as well. Gradually the hillsides turn a pale red with the maple buds and then the poplar leaves arrive as a bright green splash. Followed by the beech trees adding their leaves. The young beeches are most noticeable near the house because they limit the distance that you can see into the woods. They seem to arrive in only a day or two and before you know it the woods are green. The woodland wildflowers have been marking the season as well. The Canada mayflowers and trilliums are out and today I noticed that the Jack in the Pulpit are blooming along the brook near the house.
Just like everything else I am in a hurry to get the new season going. I am finishing some repairs on my Grand Lake Canoe that I hope to complete in the next day or two. I have repairs left to make to some of my fishing equipment but should be completely ready by the end of the week. I am eagerly looking forward to the busy part of the summer season that will start in a week or two.
