		<description><![CDATA[The mysterious cicada is a fascinating creature.  I spotted one in the lawn by my parents&#8217; graves as I was changing the flowers.  It must have just emerged from its 13 to 17 year life underground and was crawling towards a big pine.  I helped it to the tree and watched it for a long [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another beautiful day in Marquette County.  The sun is shining on the turning oak leaves.  Oaks are interesting in their response to autumn.  Some people think they are not colorful, but some turn deep red, others a golden brown.  An expanse of them looks like the finest bronze at times.  And their rattling leaves in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  Ahhh&#8230;fall.  Here in Marquette County we have mostly oaks and pines, but there are stands of maples and hickories that create bright spots.  The oaks turn a lovely russet later in fall, too.  Time to start baking apple pies and making squash stew.

		<description><![CDATA[So much has been going on, I haven&#8217;t posted lately, but Marquette County is bringing in the beauty of the change of season.  New England astors are out, although not as thick as last year.  The orioles are gone!   I&#8217;ll worry about them all winter and look forward for their hollow whistle come spring.

		<description><![CDATA[Some of the most beautiful trees in Marquette County are the oaks.  There are black oak, red oak, white oak, pin oak and burr oak.  Here is a beautiful one towards Westfield.  The crown is magnificent.  It&#8217;s probably 150 years old.
