Fall Color Begins

Taken September 27, our fall color has progressed, but not that much.

Green and red.

A sneak preview.
Local grapes.

Does anyone know what this winter squash is?

We're only at the beginning of the color season.

Just a note, I am having problems with signing into my blog (now, on two different computers) probably because of my cookie settings. I was unable to do any editing or new posts until I resolved it.  I had to clear my cache and cookies on one computer, which led to some unexpected problems on other sites.  For now, I'm not going to touch the other computer.

If this continues, I may have to rethink using Blogspot as my platform.  Apparently, Google doesn't appreciate it when you try to prevent it from tracking you.  I'm not familiar with WordPress, though, and I know there is a learning curve.  We'll see what the coming week or two brings.

For now, I can still post on my laptop, the one I fixed first.  For now.

Compared to what the people of Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, etc. are going through, it isn't even worth my time to fret about it. But if I disappear, you'll know why.

  1. It's so irritating when the things you rely on let you down. I hope the problems are soon resolved.

  5. Some fall color has appeared here too. The Virginia creeper of course! Wild grapes. A few non-natives planted as landscape trees in newer subdivisions. My aster and goldenrod. Perhaps the squash is Green Stripe Cushaw. https://www.rareseeds.com/squash-winter-green-striped-cushaw

  6. I've raised many different varieties of winter squash over my years as a gardener but I'm not familiar with the one you picture. The one that it most resembles (that I am familiar with) is Delicata. I do love winter squash - both raising it and eating it - in all its iterations.

  7. I totally understand the frustration with the blog sign-in issues. Tech can be such a headache sometimes! But you’re handling it like a champ. Hopefully, things smooth out for you soon. And I agree, when you see what others are dealing with, it really puts things into perspective! https://www.melodyjacob.com/2024/10/my-visit-to-hunterian-art-gallery-in.html

  8. Yeah, the tracking thing makes it hard. Have you considered just clearing out your cookies on a regular basis? If Google keeps this up, though, they'll lose a lot of long time users.
