A DARKLY BEAUTIFUL MORNING
JUNEBERRY TREE
TREMBLING ASPENS AND SPRUCE TREES
THERE'S A BUCK OUT THERE SOMEWHEREWednesday, 8:00 AM. 42 degrees, wind NE, light. The channel is wrinkled. It is raining, there is .75” of rain in the gage and the barometer predicts more.
It is a darkly beautiful morning, and many trees I thought might not color up well are doing just that now. The juneberry tree in the garden is a light golden yellow. The grove of quaking aspens to the north of us is turning a clear yellow, and even the old black willows on 9th St. have turned a nice greenish yellow. Trees and gardens are going into the winter with plenty of water and there should be good growth next spring. There is a big buck scrape near my deer stand so the rut is beginning, and maybe this will be the year for that big buck (hope springs eternal).
