Wild Sumac




On this first day of fall it is surprising to see such beautiful colors appear. The long hot summer and severe drought has caused many vines, shrubs and trees to die. Many of our huge 100+ year old oaks have died.


The sumac is thriving and putting forth it beautiful colors.

Birds love to eat the seed pods which are a dark maroon color.
"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the Heaven:"

Glad to see they survived the summer. I've always loved sumacs in the fall-you're making me homesick.
