got up this morning to 29...
and a hard frost...
it was beautiful...
but it was enough to finish off most things in the beds...
both guys are working today...
so work day got pushed back a bit...
I even called the mower guy and told him that we are going to need one more time this year...
yellow maple leaves are so bright...
got so much to pull, pick up and rake...
persimmons...
a big crop this year...
major yields usually means...
a major winter...
a cold winter...
their shadow on the house...
its just a carpet of leaves...
with more to come...
sedum...
red maple behind a yellow one...
the sky is such a blue jewel today...
saving my rotten gourds...
throwing them into a flower bed for winter and see what shows up in the spring...
today, I am thankful for seasons...
for fall...
for colors that float in the wind...
for a time to say good bye to summer's labor before being confined to the inside during the cold months...
happy for days in the 50s and 60s this week...
DH is still in harvest and doing the overtime, but it won't be much longer...
hoping to have the outside done and put to sleep before Thanksgiving this year...
just a late harvest...
;)
have had a rough couple of days...
but the worst is passed...
hoping and praying for a better day tomorrow...
;)
We had cold temps this morning too. I strolled around the yard took some pics in the afternoon.....I am just lovng the Fall colors...Your pics are beautiful....Blessings!
ReplyDeleteSeems the leaves are turning late..usually around my birthday so they are about 3 weeks late. Headed home next weekend hope Charleston still has some color and I can walk in the leaves and hear them rustle under my feet.
ReplyDeletebbbrrr 29! we had frost too. Hope Monday is a good day for you.
It seems like this time of year carries so much never ending work, doesn't it, Tete? :) But you are right. It's our last chance to work in the gardens, move our bodies in the cold weather, and enjoy the sunshine on our faces - before we're confined indoors wishing for spring. :) I blew leaves for 7 hours today, and it certainly won't be the last time this season I do that. lol Hope you have a wonderful week, my friend!

Your pictures are awesome, Tete. We woke to our first hard frost this morning. I think all our flowers are DONE now!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better tomorrow-xo Diana
What neat photos, and your words of wisdom about the changing weather remind me of my grandfather and his talking about natures way of warning us about the coming season.
