The Last Days of Fall

We've been enjoying the last days of Fall. It's been unseasonably warm for this time of the year!


There's been time for one last Fall walk in the woods...soon the carpet of leaves will be covered in white and Hooper Run will be iced over.




The Burning Bush is ablaze with color ~









The squirrels have been busy gathering walnuts for winter. This little guy was posing so nice for me!








One of the shrubs that I can count on to add a lot of color to the gardens this time of the year is the Barberry.







The deer have been out in the field enjoying the nice weather too. This doe was busy munching some grass in the field. It almost looks like she has a toothpick in her mouth.





Winter will soon be arriving with it's own special beauty...

Minnow Bucket of Mums ~

I've been absent on here for quite awhile...I've had problems with not being able to post photos on Blogger for the past couple months. I'd reported it but I've just been so busy with real life lately that I didn't have much time to deal with it. 


I'm happy that it finally seems to be working now! I'm behind on posting photos of what's been happening in my gardens the last couple months ~ like these sunny Mums that added a lot of fall color to my porch.




 When I saw these I knew they were the perfect color for the minnow bucket that I'd envisioned planted with Mums.






I love the graphics on the old minnow bucket...complete with a cute little fish!
