When someone says Fall, we often picture trees whose leaves are changing from green to orange, yellow or red in preparation for going dormant. I love watching the leaves change and I think of maple syrup when I hear the word Fall. Freshly made maple syrup you can put on waffles, french toast, or pancakes. In some places in Alaska, they tap the birch trees to make birch syrup which serves the same purpose up here. There is a growing birch syrup industry up here because birch trees are quite common and grow well.
The only trees I have near me are a few willows that are not much more than waist high. They've been here for many years but will never get much taller than they are now. I think that is the only real trees we have. There are lots of bushes and ground cover but most of it ends up buried under snow.

It is always cool learning a new skill. Enjoy your day.
