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


Next Sunday your topic will be raking leaves, You have great color now. It's beautiful. It doesn't last long but it doesn't have to last a long time.
