Just thought I'd post a few photos of autumn in our backyard. I love September, but there is a slight sense of impending doom as the weather gets colder and we get frost warnings.
September 15, 36 degrees

sounds scary when you say DOOM. but i get what you mean. ha. ha!! love your blooms. ( :
ReplyDeleteI just let the dog out and it is chilly here...in the 40's, and I think it dipped below that last night. Fall is my favorite season of the year here, but I don't feel quite ready for it. I'm really hoping winter doesn't show up in October as it has the past two years. I don't want any winter until December.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of autumn in your area. I like those peppers. It's chilly here this morning. Blessings to you today. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeletei was prepared to say my favorite in the collage was the blue bird bath and yellow flowers, then i got to the bottom and there it was. just so beautiful... no frost here except once in every 4 or 5 years we will get one frost but that is in January.... we have not had one for about 5 years now... when we lived in GA we covered our plants like this.
ReplyDeleteSummer's been so short this year, I bet it feels like they live indoors 2/3 of the year!
ReplyDeleteHa-- I know exactly what you mean about "doom" and"Where am I going to cram these plants?" I like it when they live outside too! Nothing we can do about it, is there??
ReplyDeleteWow! Such a pretty collage. I've never been successful with potted plants; I'm glad you have success over wintering them.
ReplyDeleteI often worry that I post about my pets too often, but then, they are my everyday companions! I've found that most people are animal lovers though.
Wishing you a great day.
Beautiful photos. I am longing for frost on my porch pumpkins.
ReplyDeletesuch a beautiful array of color!
ReplyDeleteReally lovely.
ReplyDeleteI'm soaking up every last moment of summer and trying not to dread the cold. We still are having highs in the 90s this week so I've got some time left. ;) I know what you mean about the plants. My kitchen looks like a rain forest in the winter. Ha!
ReplyDeleteIt's all so pretty and green! I love the photo of your birdbath!
ReplyDeleteYour winters sound as rough as our summers. Our average September temperature is over 100 and October is in the 90s to 100s.. I can't wait until November then it will be nice until about the end of April, and then it starts all over.
And since I like the cold less than heat I'll suffer the never ending summer. I lived in California for 18 years, but perfect weather comes with a high price tag and earthquakes.
At least the snow is photogenic.
We are still getting warm temps here but it sure has changed in the North! A taste of Fall! Pretty soon you'll have color in the trees, too! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you that the photos that you took of your home are so wonderful and uplifting. Makes me want to come for a visit!
ReplyDeleteLol! Kind of like always being prepared for rain and then it never comes. I guess we are far enough south that by the time a frost comes we are ready to be done with the garden!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy autumn it is my favorite season. Your collage is marvelous.
ReplyDeleteOh, Judy, we are just getting one step closer to my favorite season. :-) LOL
ReplyDeleteI love your last photo and I love the name you gave it too. :-) If I give you royalties, can we use it for a card? Hee Hee
Love Ya!
It's getting cool here to not down to 36 though. We've remained in the 40's.
ReplyDeleteYour collage was full of beautiful pics. Have a wonderful week.
It's feeling fallish today. We're finally getting a bit of rain and it's cool enough to open windows and let fresh air in. Your collage is beautifully done! Fall is my favorite season, it just doesn't last long enough. Winter is a season I'd cheerfully skip if I could!
ReplyDeleteJudy it looks very pretty in your backyard. Love the shot with the fog. I have decided not to bring any plants in this year, other than tubers (like elephant ears). I brought 4 Boston ferns in for overwintering last year and the leaves dropped and made an awful mess! Not going to do that again!
ReplyDeleteI hope your construction is going well. That is a wonderful collage of autumn at your house. You could have joined the card party! Hope you're doing well!
ReplyDeleteI had a little of that same feeling this morning when I needed a jacket and umbrella. Your collage is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love your collage. I hate the thought of the coming winter months, but the weather is really lovely now. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteWe are still having hot hot weather...no signs of autumn other than the crisp coolness in the early mornings.
ReplyDeleteI'm hanging on to summer with a tight grip....
Sometimes, in February, we start getting frost at night and everyone covers their tropical plants like that. The yards looks down right ghostly!! It does the job, though!
ReplyDeleteOh, how beautiful, Judy! We are expecting 93 degrees today, then gradually cooling into the 80s. Autumn comes slowly here; that's okay by me. Although I have to say, Wisconsin in the fall is beautiful, and you have captured it wonderfully. Thanks for sharing the lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous picture collage!! And it's still amazes me that we can still be in the 100's here and others are preparing for freezing temperatures already!!! lol
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Judy! It is still too hot down here for me, but at least the humidity is down. We had a few nights in the lower 60s and it sure was nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collage. Stunning pictures. I am a cold weather girl, so this is my season. Unfortunately, don't enjoy the snow but the cool and cold I love!!!
ReplyDeleteCynthia
Autumn? What's that? LOL We are having some temps in the 60s at night and only in the low 80s during the day. I'm hoping for 60s during the day soon. Ha! :)
ReplyDeleteLoved your beautiful collage!!
ReplyDeleteI'm very fond of your reflection picture : this flower reflecting in the bird fountain has something so poetical... Lovely indeed.
ReplyDeleteLove the sunflower reflections ~ great shot ~
ReplyDeletecarol, xo
Very pretty reflection shot...love your header too! I hear you on the impending doom feeling. Old man winter is just around the corner and the predictions are not good this year!!! This is my fave time of year, the fall colors are so breathtaking and the cool air is invigorating1
ReplyDeleteNice reflections of the flowers in the bird bath. You do have some wonderful photos.
ReplyDeleteIt's still very hot here in Texas, but it will cool down soon. I have tried to grow Black eyed Susans, yours are really lovely reflecting in the bird bath. Here via "From the Farm Blog Hop"
ReplyDeleteI especially love the birdbath shot. WOW!
ReplyDeleteLovely composition...well done...
ReplyDeleteOh, I love that birdbath!
