Squirrels, Chipmunks, Birds

The weather here was cooler and a perfect time for a good long walk. We went to our favorite park and my better half found a comfortable bench to sit on while I walked. He had his latest Economist with him. It was nice and cool enough under the trees. I noticed trees shedding their leaves in the park area before I got to the walking trail. It was odd because they were beautiful and green all summer. They weren't changing colors but leaves were simply falling to the ground. Other trees are still a beautiful green. Only in one area were leaves falling. We've had plenty of rain so I don't believe they are dying. I had a nice walk and saw squirrels, chipmunks and birds. I picked up a few black walnuts that were laying on the ground. When I got back I found my better half in conversation with a young man. He was telling my better half his life story, which was quiet interesting. He was divorced and worried about his young son. I'm not out going like my better half. I would have sat and read my magazine and only nodded to people passing by. Anyway it was a good day. How was yours?

So glad you had a lovely day Ruby..it really sounds beautiful. It was a lovely day here until a bit later around 4pm when the wind picked up and a cold wind blew threw here. But that is Colorado and how it is sometimes. Didnt do as much as I could have today, but I did get out of this place for a while walking by myself..was nice.

I always enjoy getting out to walk. I've slacked off this summer because I haven't felt well and the heat. So you already have cold wind. It's only a bit cooler here. Glad you could get out also.

We've had a constant rain, today. Tomorrow, showers are in the forecast, also. Being out walking on a nice day, is such good therapy! My husband talks to everyone, while I'm afraid to carry on a conversation, with people I don't know.

@RubyHawk I'm afraid of people, that I don't know anything about. Jay buddies up with anyone, like they've known each other for many years! I can't do that, it scares me

@kobesbuddy It doesn't scare me but it makes me feel like I'm poking my nose in someone's business and I just can't do it. I came back while they were talking and this young man was telling my better half about what university he graduated from and what he majored in. Where he is working, about his divorce and all sorts of things. It makes me uncomfortable to listen to what's none of my business.

Sorry about the rain We've had a few showers. Wish we could send it to California. They need it desperately.my better half has never met a stranger and it amazes how people will stop and talk with him. I'm not as layed back as he is.

@jobelbojel I've never ran or jogged, I just like walking out in nature. I hate a tread mill, but I use one once in awhile in cold weather.

I enjoyed being out walking. My better half asked me what I wanted to do and walking in the woods was the only thing I wanted.

@Courtlynn It is devastating, so many homes burned and lives lost. it's a nightmare. I feel so sorry for those poor people.

That would have been a big help to California. I watched awhile on TV and it's mind blowing. We've had a little rain off and on.

That sounds like a good day well spent. I did some cleaning this morning and now I want to go look for boots after the ball game finishes.

Seems like your husband is a friendly man, and such a nice walk there, beautiful surrounding in your place.

Yes, he's friendly and outgoing. I wish I were more like him but it's not my nature. I'm friendly to everyone but I would feel I was intruding if I got personal. We do have lovely woodland. I've never been away from trees.

@ilocosboy We live in the suburbs of a large city and go there occasionally but I wouldn't live there.

Same with my place, I just love our village. Though I visit the metropolis once or twice a year but I will not exchange the beautiful scene we got here.

My day is fine so far. Not much happening. Did some water coloring to relax and then watched some TV afterwards. Now, I'm here in the site ready to interact with everyone.

Squirrels, Chipmunks, Birds: we have them all in our backyard. Beautiful photo. WE used to read The Economist too, but haven't for a few years.

We have squirrels at the back of our apartment. It's neat watching them swing from tree to tree. My betterhalf can't do without his Economist.

Our weather has been iffy with rain today. So far we have more green than changing colors since the weather has been so mild for October

I don't see one bit of color. Either leaves are drying up and falling off or they're green. We might not have pretty colors this year.

Good day with a light cooler breeze in Lake Charles which is a sign that winter is around the corner.

The weather was col enough for me to wear a sweater today and tonight's to be cooler. But the weather forecaster tells us it will be in the 70's in a couple of days.

Sometimes you need that kind of peaceful break away from the concrete humanity.

I agree. We need to get out in natureto unwind and relax. I've read that trees release a chemical thats good for stress.

That image you used there is simply beautiful, all that green color! I had often wondered about trees which do not change colors, how did their leaves end up? So they just fall regardless, very interesting.

Yes, leaves fall off regardless. We do have some trees that keep their greenery all winter, firs, pine, cedar and a few others I can't think of right now.

@YrNemo Have you thought about digging it up and planting in a better location? It sounds like a beautiful tree. Maples grow tall and have reddish leaves in the fall. Could it be a maple. Maples are beautiful trees

@RubyHawk It is a Bradford pear tree, I just searched wiki for its ID. Should I keep it?
