Dying in Technicolor


The rockwall garden has never looked so colorful as now - when it is dying. Wouldn't it look neat if I had a whole bunch of big orange pumpkins strewn throughout?

Just a pretty pic of asters and a maple tree beginning to color.

  1. You're absolutely right...everything in your yard is so beautiful and colorful right now. It's a shame we have to have winter coming soon.
    And your freshly baked bread looks so delicious too. I baked some Banana Bread this weekend and made a pot of chili, but today it's almost 80º.

  2. Banana Bread sounds good. I was thinking of that earlier in the week,but had no bananas. I made chili the weekend before last and we ate it all week long. I do love a good pot of chili in cool weather.

  3. I love that top picture. There really is a lot of colour in it.

    And I was just wondering when I would start seeing pictures of autumn leaves on people's garden blogs. I think yours is the first I've seen. ;-)

  4. Your asters are so pretty! Our trees are having just the tiniest hint of color. We have liquid amber trees, do you know those?

  5. Beautiful color everywhere! Did you cut back your asters during the spring and summer? They look so nice and bushy.

  6. Didn't cut these back, Giddy. In fact these are some that I removed from the actual gardens and just stuck in the woods. They get no care at all. I am going to remove even more and stick them back here to grow wild.

    Sue, I never heard of liquid amber trees. Love the name, though and will have to google it.

    It's that time of the year, Karen! Are you getting color in your area?

  7. A good combination.
    And the photo above: I do not know what it is!

  8. Your rockwall garden is so pretty pumpkins would look very nice in it too, but the prices they have on them it could get a little pricey (unless you grow your own)Pat

  9. I imagine so, Pat. I don't even know what they sell for these days...have not bought one in last 10 years. They would look nice, but you're right, too costly and too much work cleaning them up after Halloween.

  10. I always find it amazing how some plants look just as good when they're almost done for the season. Your grass certainly does look healthy too...we've had quite a bit of rain lately too so ours is still holding on also:-) Soon enough it will be covered with snow...ugh! I was at the grocery store today and noticed they had pumpkins for sale...$3.99 to $4.99...getting more expensive every year!!

  11. Pea,
    You really should not be swearing while visiting my blog! I am talking about the "s" word, of course. LOL.
