We got home from our vacation trip to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta Friday evening. There are lots of pictures posted at their site, though I think we got many that are just as nice. I just posted the last pictures from our trip at http://picasaweb.google.com/ed.paynter/BalloonFestivalTrip#.
Today we took some time to harvest persimmons.
As I left the house, right outside the door, the hummingbirds having left for the season, I saw that the bees are dealing with the rest of the sugar water in the hummingbird feeder. I think I'll move it away from the door after dark.
We collected enough ripe persimmons to get over a quart of pulp which Sandy turned into persimmon pudding with a bit left over. I'm eating it as I write this and you can't have any.
Fall colors are beginning to show at Greene View Springs. Here are a few shots taken near one of the persimmon groves. The first is taken from our south boundary looking north toward the house which is still hidden in the trees. All the trees visible are on the property.
The last shot shows the hill on the southeast quarter of the property from the east side. At the top of the picture, in the center, the orange-yellow trees are one of the persimmon groves.
