Last day of "Fall" and red is the new orange

Even though winter doesn't really start for a month, this is the last day (Thanksgiving) that I count Fall. I can no longer abide the orange theme. Tomorrow we start red and green. That means the gourds gotta go. Pumpkin themed seeds, chips, pancakes gotta go. The sunsets at the coast last weekend totally have to go. Even that double rainbow on the way to work yesterday looks kind of orangesque. Sure, we'll have some pie left-overs for a day or two, but then we're on to Christmas cheer.

Judd had most of yesterday off and started pre-cooking our usual Thanksgiving fare:  pearled onions, mashed potatoes, squash, stuffing, cranberry relish.  This morning after my pies came out of the oven (only 2 this year as we are kid-less:  pumpkin and apple) Judd put a turkey in. It was unseasonably warm outside (low 60s) so we went for a walk despite the 40 % chance of rain.  It did shower on us but it was warm enough we didn't care.  By accident, we found a new forest-

marked trail on the other side of town. Southern Oregon is home to a rare species of lily and this is where it lives!  (We didn't see any on this forest walk, but we saw more exotic madrone trees (where the bark falls off.) There are SO MANY trees with big round orbs of something growing in them-- parasitic aliens?  mistletoe?  We don't know yet.

(The tree movie is left-over from the Redwood forest.  It took a long time to walk around one tree.)

are those mistletoe balls in all the trees?
