The month is half over with less than 0.50" of precip. Dusty and dry .The fallen leaves are crispy. Deer numbering at a dozen with a least 4 antlered males roaming with. Actually had snowfall November 10th...A dusting that stayed around 24 hours due to cold temps. Red oaks seem to be the only trees holding on to their leaves now. Balmy breeze blowing this am with hopes of rain.
