Minimal practice

[fbhjr]

I know autumn doesn’t officially start until Tuesday. But, it has seemed a lot like it lately.
Today, however, was much warmer, cloudy and damp.

So, even if it felt a bit like summer, the birds are still headed south.


We were a bit worried when we showed up for practice and no one else did.


I hate taking swords out in the rain if they don’t get used.


John did eventually show up, which was good.


We went over falchion, rapier and long swords in preparation for the show in 2 weeks.


With only three of us practice went fast and we headed home early.


The leaves are starting to turn in anticipation of autumn.


You can clearly tell where the trees have water and where they don’t.

If they have water, they turn, if they’re dry they stay green.

We were surprised about Orson never getting his sunglasses and flowers for the summer.


Maybe the university where my wife works being just behind him and their new "no drinking" policy might have influenced the bear.

If this is what you do to people when they show up, it might be why... ;)

Hmmm... That might be a good point....

Light levels and moisture are the big drivers.
It is not normally quite so clear. But, it was a dry summer, so it is more clear than normal.

The leaves have really beautiful shades, but I still see a lot of green. It looks lovely there!

Wow .. what pretty pretty colours ... it blows me away - we just don't get those vivid colours here.

From what I can tell it is fairly dry where you are. The color takes water.

yep - we probably don't get as much rain as you ... and not all our tress are deciduous.

I'm sorry no one showed up but John.( I have another month in the boot, then they check it again,if at a certain point,therapy. All told, takes a about 6 plus months to heal totally) You two could have gone and done something. The trees do look nice.

No worries. We were only expecting 4 people and got 3.
Jose had things he needed to do elsewhere. No problem with that.
