The beautiful leaves are the flowers of autumn.
We live in a small town but are fortunate to have this view from our front porch.
Even after last night's heavy frost, I still have my ferns and a few mums. I also have a lot of raking to do. We have two huge maple trees in front of our house. The smallest tree sheds its leaves first.
"In the other gardens
And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires
See the smoke trail.
Pleasant summer over
Pleasant summer over
And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
The gray smoke towers.
Sing a song of seasons!
Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all,
Flowers in the summer
Fires in the fall!"-
Robert Louis Stevenson, Autumn Fires

That first picture is stunning and your view of the mountainside is so beautiful. Happy raking!
You have a million dollar view Sweetie! We haven't gotten our first hard frost yet, maybe next month. Mums are quite hardy flowers!

I just love the color of trees in teh autumn. Your view from the front porch is just amazing. I miss front porches as we don't have them here in Holland.
So glad that you and my mother were able to talk. I know it was as it should be that you found her online. I told her that it will do some good to what happened to Fawn to be able to support you now. There is always good in bad but it just takes a sometimes a little while to find it. My mother and I are closer than even before.

Hi Sweetie...so you've already had a frost...it'll be awhile before we do...The view from your porch looks like a painting...so nice.
Hugs, ;-) Bo
Hello dear Sweetie:-)
I'm back from my trip and now trying to catch up with everyone! I've so enjoyed reading your posts I had missed...I so love all your auction wins. As you know I love auctions and always try to get the pink or green depression glass dishes:-)
What a beautiful scenery you have from your front porch...isn't Mother Nature gorgeous in her Autumn colours:-) xoxo
What a gorgeous view. You are so lucky to live in a place where you can see the trees and leaves turn different colors. It never happens here in Southern California!
Happy Blooming Tuesday
Love, Ann
We had our hard frost last night, too. The Morning Glories on the mailbox had to go. Bummer! You have a gorgeous view! Happy Bloomin' Tuesday! ~ Robyn
Hi Sweetie! How are you! It's been a long time. I saw you at Bo's and so now I've added you to my list so I can visit more. Love the fall pictures and the poem. Nice seeing you again! Deb
You have the most amazing view - just beautiful! The trees are so glorious!
