As I was driving into the Maine Audubon to get bird seed...I was stopped in my tracks by this lollipop shaped tree. I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers!
I love everything about this time of year...the colors...the dying and cutting back...getting the plants tucked in for the winter season.
I look forward to the nesting inside season....especially because that means more time for art!
Paul and I enjoy being out on the patio under out blankets for as long as we can. We love the way the late afternoon sun plays with the colors in the woods as it turns more and more yellow...on its way to brown. Pretty soon the woods will be all tucked in too! I love this time of year!
Autumn is a spectacular time of change! Dave is our gardener and he has been busy busy busy with the seasonal shift. Indoors, several rooms in our home glow magnificently as light travels through the large maple in our front yard. Today I laced my grapevine wreath with its annual bedecking using bright bittersweet berries. All wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe glow of the seasonal shift happens inside and out. I can just picture the light in your home Dotty! I'm wondering if your bittersweet is real or fake. I absolutely love the look of it...but am fearful of it taking root. Thanks for celebrating autumn with me!!
DeleteThis is my favorite time as well. Comfort clothes, food, and time with friends and family. What could be better?

Yes! I love all of that too! So glad to know it's your favorite too Kathy!
DeleteMe, too, I love fall! I even love the shorter days as it feels more peaceful, if that makes any sense at all. There is such beauty in the fall colors and in the revealing of the tree branches as the leaves fall. Walking on crunchy leaves, kicking little leaf piles in the air, oh so many things to love about fall…..except my husband continually saying, “Winter is coming”, lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you....so it totally makes sense! I love it all! Paul and I always wonder who's going to be the first one to say "I'm ready for fall" on the first hot day. I just love being tucked in...and snowed in!
DeleteJust lovely trees up there, MaryAnn; here in SE CT we are just beginning to see colors here with our little maples all reddish now;)) Autumn is my favorite season also...

Nice thinking about your color just getting started there in CT. Enjoy the season Julierose!
DeleteOur color is just thinking about getting started (more like where you were in Nashville). I'm so enjoying the colors others are showing. And I totally agree about the October afternoon sunshine being magnificent.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice thinking about a wave of color heading south. Enjoy the rest of October Julie.
