Well, it's gotten busy again. But, I can still post every now and then. This Oak is from out on Missouri Southern State University's lawn. It reminds me of the good times I've had there.
I thought I'd share a few seasonal links with you and bring up some topics for discussion.
The first link is the official times for the first frosts in Missouri. NOAA Climatology
It always amazes me that different trees start turning at different times. Right now, the maples are just turning a bit yellow and the sassafrases have some tinges of orange around these parts.
The second link is one that surprises me that it actually exists.
Missouri Conservationist Fall Guide
Is that not just plain awesome? There are definitely some great views to see in Missouri. This site ought to help you find the right one for you!
The third thought is that I've been thinking lately of getting a better bicycle and riding around the state sites some. One of my overall goals in life is to see every state park and trail. I also want to start getting a bit fitter and do my part in keeping the environment clean. A bike fits this well, and I was wondering if anyone else around these parts has had similar thoughts.
And, the fourth and final thought for this post is that I've seen a lot of tossed out trash lately alongside the roadways. People either seem to be getting sloppier or just lazy. I don't know which, but it bugs me.
Take care, folks!
