Fall Is Falling


We had some dark stormy days this past week, and I have been having a lot of uncomfortable dental work, so I was happy to get outside in sunshine for a few hours this Saturday morning.

The autumn leaves have been glorious this year. In our garden the dogwoods and maples have been going through their color changes, each tree at its own pace. I have seen the same sequences in the trees over at the park where I walked when it was dry.

In the back yard, the red Japanese maple, the Korean dogwood, and another red maple. maple. 






In the front yard, the Fern leaf Full Moon Maple and another Korean Dogwood. 
 

And now this weekend the leaves are falling and forming a colorful carpet under the trees. 











Over at the park.





Yesterday Tom picked a rose, maybe not the last rose of summer, but close, and a perfect accompaniment to my grocery store bouquet of mums in autumn leaf colors. 


We'll be back outside again Sunday morning, grabbing all of the Autumn beauty we can before the rains return again.
