went on our annual fall leaf drive today. usually we go on columbus day but it was rainy and cold and so we went today. beautiful weather BUT it is very odd up north. the leaves really haven't turned much. for the most part the leaves are a dull dark green with some yellows and drab orange showing. we went all the way up to tionesta and oil city and franklin. drove thru cook's forrest and across the tionesta dam.

the forrest is always beautiful no matter the colors of the leaves and they have golden ferns and big dark grey boulders that we haven't down here.


strange too. there were NO hawks flying. not a one. they were in allegheny county and part of butler and then-none. that was sort of spooky.

i did see something that i have never seen before tho. i saw a dead porcupine on my side of the road! i've never seen a porcupine outside of a zoo before.

i also saw a farm with long horn cattle. been thru pa. farm country many many times and never saw those. hell, i saw buffalo last year and a llama ranch but never long horns. it was pretty cool.

went passed a lot of amish farms and saw the buggys on the road. i'm used to that tho.

it was a nice drive on a lovely day but our foliage here is far more colorful that up north.
