Changing Colors and The Yard

 It's that time of year...

The leaves on the trees

are starting to get that 

yellow tint to them

before they go full on 

in changing color. 

My Walnut tree is usually

the last to put on 

leaves in the spring 

and the frist to turn

and start dropping leaves

in the fall. 

With the rain for three days

in a row what turns gets 

beat off fast. 

Friday, we had rain off and 

on all day. A steady rain.

Then, on Saturday, it finally

let up around 3, which was

a good thing since we had a 

wedding at 4. 

Sometime in the evening, it 

started back and has

been going strong all Sunday

morning. 

I am so ready for fall but

I want the rain to stop

so that maybe we can

enjoy some color...

so I can get out with 

my camera to enjoy 

that color.

Got behind this on the

way home Sat. night

after the wedding. The

flag flying on the back 

caught my attention.

LOVE IT.

Keeping my feeders

full cause these babes

need all the sugar water

they can get for their

journey south.

My garden has gotten

really out of hand and I 

am trying to do my best

to hold off on pulling

things up for the coming

winter. 

I know I have showed

my vine before but here it

is again!

In this shot you can see

my crete myrtle which

might have to get moved.

I planted it when I moved 

and and so that it would 

not be in the way of mowing 

I put it on the other side of the 

Vinca Vine mass. I actually

had to cut some of that

vine away from crawling up

my myrtle. Course around

the mass looks rough cause that 

is because I had to cut

so much of the vinca back

from where I let it

get out of controll and 

it came over its 

border!. I need to stay

of top of that better next

year. I am in the process of

redoing the walkway, thanks

to the moles that dig under

them and push them up 

and out of the way. They

made a mess of it.

To the left of the pic

is some sedum which I

will need to either plant in 

the ground or a bigger pot

next spring. It is busting 

at the seams. 

Saw this on a car the other day.

Just a Hogwarts girl living

a muggle world.

I think I need to  put something

on my car...

"Following my own 

yellow brick road!"
