Our Home on 10/16/16; The pink dogwood in front (on left) is doing great --since it gets water from our sprinkler... We are also trying to keep the grass as green as possible in front. |
Before we left for a short trip to the Smokies and Cherohala (pictures to come) this past week, I took some pictures around our yard (10/16/16) to share with you today... With the drought, our colors in this area are not as good as they usually are (lots of brown and dead leaves)---but we do have some pretty things blooming to show you. Hope you enjoy!!!! You can click on them to see enlargements.

I love watching the DOGWOOD change colors in Fall. The leaves will eventually be a dark burgundy color. |

I love our MAPLE Tree in Fall. I think Maples are some of the prettiest trees in Autumn. |

The AUTUMN JOY SEDUM is now a RUST color... (Remember that these start out white, then turn pink, then a brilliant red --and finally a rust color.) |

I will share pictures from our two October trips soon...
Hugs and Blessings,
