Fall color viewed from the deck. Wow! |
The same scene but with dramatic lighting when dark clouds rolled in. |
Berries along the nature trail. |
Bill enjoying the sunny day. |
The two oak trees in front of the deck dazzled with bright orange-yellow color. |
Me in front of the cabin. |
Beautiful color in the front yard. |
Persimmon trees along the nature trail. There's still lots of fruit left in the trees. |
These persimmons fell from the trees. Inedible early in the fall, they tasted better after the first frost. |
As usual, acorns were abundant this year, so we decided to crack some open and try to eat them. |
Bill cracking open the acorns. |
These are the shelled acorns before they went into the pot. |
To get rid of the tannic acid in the acorns and make them edible, I boiled them about a dozen times, changing the water each time. |
Here are the final acorns, boiled many times, then toasted. They didn't taste great, but if there's nothing else to eat, they'd be just fine. |
