The Spine Tooth Fungus...

sugar maple by ana traina ~2013 ~
has claimed the life of my 60 year old sugar maple!
So, in celebration of its life, I would like to share this poem 
with you by Emily Dickinson...

AUTUMN
The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry's cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.
The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I'll put a trinket on.
