We had the first snow today when I had an appointment 2 hours away. Made it
there and back safely. Still have walnuts and leaves all over the lawn. Had
our biggest walnut removed a few weeks ago and have been getting all that
cleaned up. The tree removers were able to spare a seedling dogwood that
grows at it's base. I hope it can be moved to another bed. This really
opens up the southern side of the house. Nice on these gray days but I will
miss the shade next summer. We planted a linden a few years ago but it will
be several more before it gives us significant shade on the house. The
saffron crocus are blooming and I want to pick some threads before they
freeze. Beautiful red berries on the dogwoods. I'll enjoy them while I can.
Soon the starlings will scoop in and strip the trees bare.
I have a question for you. The city planted some blooming trees on the east
side of the new library. They've been blooming since late August and are
producing more buds every time I see them. At first I thought they were
dogwoods. Now they look more like magnolias with 4 petals per flower. Any
idea what they might be?  I'll try to get a picture tomorrow.
