Autumn in the Land of Origin

Just thought that you guys from other barbarian lands might want a few more pictures from the Land of Origin. Below, you see Honeybee with Superguy. Messy Bessy on the messy porch with little sweet Honeybee.
Gorgeous maple trees as seen from messy porch.
Not a great shot, but the front yard with pretty trees behind it.
And is this a country lane? Will Jane Austen characters come traipsing daintily down it, swinging their little parasols and talking in elevated language about noble love, duty, and virtuous living? Or is it, rather, a dirty filthy unpaved alley that the city has never paved once in the whole of its existence and will not do now unless we and our neighbors agree to a special levy on our properties? Well, whichever, it's still nice to look at, from afar, and right at this time.

Remember, the Land of Origin: It's more than just mosquitoes, high taxes, road construction, and Obama posters in every yard!

No fair!!! You can't post beautiful pictures of MN Autumn, it simply isn't fair to those of your far-flung kin who must survive October, and possibly all of Fall (??), without such splendors. The Southland has its charms, and we are starting to finally get weather cooler than 80 degrees, but we have yet to see those orange and golden and ruby displays of true Autumn, and feel that cool snap in the air amidst the low-lying October sun. People who choose to live their lives in places without real changing seasons don't know what they're missing. I do...
