| The lower side of our home |
My apologies to anyone who is tired of seeing Autumn photos... BUT--since I love Fall, I just can't help myself!!!!!! I went back outside on Sunday late afternoon, Nov. 3, 2013, and took another big set ---just for you!!!! Aren't you excited????? Don't answer that... ha ha
We had a strange Fall here with the trees hanging on to their leaves longer than usual. AND--they stayed green for a long time this year. BUT--once they changed, it was almost as if it happened overnight! Crazy!
Anyhow, since our leaves are coming down very fast now, this may be the last good set showing the colors in and around our yard. We are so fortunate in several ways to live where we do.. We have about 50 big shade trees in our yard... That is great most of the year including when the colors change in Fall. BUT--our work of blowing and raking up all of the leaves which come down is a HUGE job for us, which goes on for several weeks. But--I keep saying that it's good exercise for me!!!!
Hope you enjoy more of the Autumn photos from beautiful Fairfield Glade, Tennessee taken on November 3, 2013. Be sure to click on the photos for enlargements.

| From the road looking at the front yard ---and surrounding trees |
The photos were taken late in the afternoon when the front yard was getting shady. We had gotten the leaves up (for that day) in the front yard ---but had not yet touched the sides nor back.... But--doesn't the front look pretty????
 |
| Beautiful colors of the trees in the lower side yard |
As much as I love the REDS of Fall, there's something fantastic about the browns and golds of LATE Fall, don't you think?
 |
| Some of our Pansies |
We have alot of Pansies planted around the front yard to give us some color in Winter. So far, they are happy with our weather!!!! (They will do fine as long as it doesn't get too cold and STAY that way for a long time.)
 |
| Roses still blooming on November 3 |
The Rose season is almost over ---but some of them are still blooming and are SO pretty. I will miss them until they come back in Spring.
 |
| Burning Bush |
Speaking of the REDS of Fall, there are lots of Burning Bushes in our area --and they are gorgeous.
 |
| All the colors of Maples!!! |
I love Maples --and there are many varieties around here. They all turn different colors ---and this one is showing off SEVERAL colors all at the same time!!!

| Our Deck ---after its staining, a few weeks ago |
I am now in the side yard looking toward the deck. I love the stain they put on our deck a few weeks ago. But most of the deck furniture and umbrellas are put away until spring. The swing is still there when I want to enjoy being outside!

| Our Backyard in Autumn! |
Even though we haven't gotten the leaves up in the backyard, there was just something I liked about this photo. Maybe it is because I love walking through the leaves --and hearing them crunch under my feet!!!!!

Well---that's it around our yard!!!!! Hope you enjoyed seeing more of our Autumn photos. I certainly enjoyed sharing them with you!!!
UPDATE: I'm so glad that I took these photos on Nov. 3 (and wrote this post that week) --because as of Nov. 12, almost all of our trees are BARE.... Amazing how quickly the leaves came down this year!!!!
Now---hop over to my Photo Blog (click
HERE) for one more beautiful photo from our yard taken the week of November 3rd...
Stay WARM.... An Arctic Cold Front came through here on Nov. 12 ---and brought us some WINTER....
Hugs,

We've lost most of our leaves around here, also, Betsy, as we had a couple of windy days. Your autumn was a very pretty one--I loved all your photos. Autumn is also my favorite season but it does seems to pass too quickly!
Autumn is so beautiful over there :)
You were surrounded by beautiful fall color. Bet you just hate to see it gone.
Your home and yard are beautiful. I especially like the deck stain. We keep a few chairs out on the porch over winter for the occasional nice days!
hi Betsy. I am so glad you took all those shots on nov 3. it is truly a wonderful selection of coloured autumn trees but my favourite is no 8. the close up of the multi coloured Maple leaves.
The maples are at their best during the Autumn months. What a display of colour.
Beautiful photos, Betsy!
Greetings, RW & SK
Betsy, your yard is bursting with colors. What a beautiful Autumn. Lovely captures. Have a great day!
Everythig is so pretty, I especially love your green house. xxx
Fall is my most favorite time of year and as it does not last long at all, thank goodness for lots of photos!
Happy Wednesday Betsy!

Hi Betsy!
you have a beautiful home and garden, I do like the decked area, it's so lovely, it must be great sitting there and admiring those beautiful views x x x
Beautiful pictures! Yes, winds came through here last weekend, and now our trees are bare and desolate. It also got cold! Feels like winter now.
We got the artic front, too...it is so cold. Well, in comparison to the 60ish weather we have been having. I did enjoy seeing these...like you, I LOVE autumn.
you have one of the prettiest yards I have ever seen. I love all your Fall colors. Our Fall was mostly brown this year. Even our maple tree was all brown. Temps have dropped here and it is very cold.
Loved seeing around your yard; great colours. We have no leaves left, it's below zero and two inches of the white stuff!
I still have 2 weeks worth here so will show a few for a couple posts.I love the color change also, maybe because I am a fall born person.
I love the colors especially the Maples. Spring in the desert is the best time here. It's amazing how beautiful the desert can be when it blooms. And I don't have to take those. lol
What a beautiful home. I love your deck. I would love to live there.
Lovely color, Betsy. Have you ever heard the weather folklore that if the trees hang onto their leaves, it foretells a bad winter?
Have a good Wednesday!
Hugs,
Nellie
I like seeing all the leafs.....they are pretty especially with the flag....they did come down fast this year
Even though you have a marvelous Spring and Summer flowers, I do believe I like your Fall photos the most. You truly have lovely surroundings. Too bad it doesn't last long.
Your place looks beautiful even in the fall.
Betsy, Nice photos! It seemed like the colors came and went very quickly this year! Then the cold and windy weather hit and the color, and most of the leaves were gone! The good news is that by this weekend, we'll be able to blow the leaves off the yard for the last time this fall. Too darn cold this morning! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
Beautiful! I just love a Burning Bush! I'm tired just thinking about getting up all those leaves!!
The world is full of so much beauty. One thing far sure, you two found the perfect spot for your home. Truly breathtaking.
Such beautiful captures and the leaves and colors are gorgeous!! Such a lovely time of year! The trees here in Portland are beginning to lose their leaves, but it's still pretty colorful! I do love this time of year!! Hope your week is going well!! Enjoy!!
With the bleak stark look of winter coming, there can't be too many pictures of fall. You live in such a charming house with such beautiful surroundings. Hugs
Who doesn't love to see fall? Have I ever mentioned that your green house is the perfect color for all seasons? I want to see some snow pictures so haul out your long johns!
Best,
Bonnie
As I scrolled down each image of your beautiful colors I was missing mine very much. Everything here is bare as can be and it happened almost overnight and we had snow yesterday and temps 20 degrees below normal.
You got some wonderful shots to look back on!
Beautiful, Betsy. I never tire of seeing the fall foliage either. Your yard looks lovely framed by the gorgeous trees. MB
Beautiful photos, Betsy! Our trees are all bare now, and we have snow on the ground too!
Beautiful! What a lovely fall you've had. We had a colorful one as well, several weeks ago though. The oaks are hanging on to their leaves though. Mark will mow one final time when all the leaves come down. He says its so much easier than raking!
Beautiful photographs, Betsy. You have a lovely home and beautiful lawn. I enjoyed viewing your fall foliage very much. Fall has been late here, too. Now the wind has blown most of the leaves off the trees. It has been a lovely fall.
I know that the leaves must be raked and taken away,but I do love both the look and the sound of leaves on the ground.Your yard is lovely any time of year.
I'd never tire of your Autumn yard photos Betsy, as I don't have an Autumn/Fall here in tropical Oz. Your front really looks pretty, but I love the back too.
Nice stain job on the back patio!
Fancy having a terrific view over a golf course!
Hugs

Just amazing colours. I love the maple leaves. Not sure I would like the job of raking leaves. I have to do it at home in the dry season when trees shed some of their leaves.
That sure sounds like a lot of leaf-raking, Betsy, but the autumn color surrounding your house is magnificent.
I love fall also. In many ways, it is my favorite time of year. I loved seeing your lovely home and all of the beautiful color. Enjoy it while it lasts. Hugs.
Hi Betsy, Beautiful place - I do miss the lovely setting and the nice folks. Your weather, well… It has been a much cooler day here - 57 degrees this afternoon was all. Have a great Thurs. tomorrow and thanks for the brilliant look at the striking Fall colors of the Glade!
Beautiful Betsy! I esp. love the view of the house looking through the maple trees. I didn't get photos of our trees in their fall colors---we had some lovely ones. But they will be pretty in the snow also.
btw we have bird feeders now---loving this home! :>)
I really enjoyed these, Betsy, probably because most of the leaves are down now and it was just nice to have another dose of fall color. Your yard is truly beautiful at this time of year.
So pretty. I can hear the leaves falling!
I always love it when you show us your yard. It truly is magnificent.
It looks so pretty around your yard, Betsy! I love fall and there's only one thing wrong with it...it doesn't last long enough! Our trees are quickly losing their leaves, too. Have a wonderful Thursday!
i never get tired of autumn/fall ever ... never ever!! keep showing them my friend. i will tune in. stay warm. it is 19 here this AM. ( :
Beautiful! Our fall leaves were a bust this year. They stayed green late and then turn brown and quickly fell off....
Who could ever tire of seeing such gorgeous photos? I so enjoy seeing them. It is beautiful around your place and looks so very peaceful. This has been a very unusual Fall around here as well, but the trees seem to be so splendid in their color.
Hope you and George have a great day.

Gorgeous pictures - I love autumn too.
Thank you for sharing all the views around your yard. Gorgeous colours everywhere. Interesting to know that all the leaves have fallen now. We're still enjoying a mix of Autumn colours on the trees and bushes. The beech woods are particularly beautiful.
These are lovely scenes, Betsy. I agree that it was a strange fall season in TN. It took forever for the color changes in the lower elevations, like where we live, and then whoosh, they came down fast. Hardly any leaves are left now.
You have such a wonderful fall view around your home- just fantastic!
