A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

It’s another beautiful day in the neighborhood as Mr. Rodgers used to say. More leaves are falling and it’s still cool. I walked down to the mailbox to mail a letter and finished a short walk while I was out. I found one small scarlet tree in this complex and snapped a picture. Some guy with a small tractor was digging at the back of one of the apartment buildings. It wasn’t for a water line because the water isn’t off and it can’t be a power line because we have power. I put in a load of white clothes and they should be ready for the dryer. I hope you all enjoy your day, be it sunny or cloudy. I’ll be back later if nothing breaks bigger than a frog hair.

I'd say about a third of ours have fallen, maybe not quiet that much.

"Frog Hair" ?? Is it an Idiom or Proverb? The picture looks marvelous! I too would love to walk in such surroundings. We have a lot of clothes to get dried up but due to the lower temperatures, it takes more time for the things to dry up.

@RubyHawk Not much. However many factors have led to a high pollution level. Related news:
Delhi NCR gasps, use of non-BS VI diesel vehicles, over 3 lakh, banned
indianexpress.com
The ban on diesel four-wheelers, except BS-VI vehicles and those used for essential and emergency services, will be applicable in Delhi and NCR districts bordering the capital, according to the order.

@RubyHawk However, in general Diesel fuels here cause higher pollution though some latest Diesel vehicles claim lower emissions.

You are enjoying fall much more than I am, that's for sure. I mean, don't get me wrong. I think fall is pretty. But it is also ominous and pitiful as it marks the end of summer and the beginning of winter.

@RubyHawk Based on the fact that we are in the 70s in the early part of November here, I am hoping this is at least a sign of a mild winter if nothing else.
