Early September Stroll at the cabin
Trail next to the cabin
Maiden hair ferns are still green
With my knee feeling pretty good and myasthenia gravis somewhat under control, I took a stroll through the back woods at the cabin late this afternoon and took a few snapshots. It is dry, some hints of color, but mostly green yet. No bugs!!!
Wild fall asters
Bottle Gentians slightly faded
Golden rod
The lake
Our Pumpkin field
Crab apple
Wild apple tree at the cabin--tart hard apples not wormy, made a good pie!
The Cabin built from home sawn lumber in 1975 Ladders are because I have been doing some roof work this fall The siding is rough sawn jackpine from the Sterling Barrens cut on our own mill and never painted.
