When we moved to our new house the yard was virtually empty, except for a few mature trees. I have slowly replaced the expanse of empty lawn with gardens full of my favorite plants: old garden roses, peonies, clematis, iris, geraniums, lilies, and more. I need these gardens to be reasonably low-maintenance so I'm emphasizing long-lived perennials, flowering shrubs and evergreens. I'm also growing vegetables and some fruit - all organic.

My family went for a sunny fall stroll in the Arboretum this weekend. We saw some stunning fall color, as well as migrating geese, chipmunks, and a little striped snake. Here are some visual highlights:

Sounds like you had a lovely time!
ReplyDeleteRebecca, I hope you had a nice time in an Arboretum! I love the pics, the most the birches and red leaves trees.
ReplyDeleteLovely! Our autumn colors are not quite to that stage yet, but I am looking forward to it. Those reds are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFabulous, the picture of the Sumac reminds me to get this in the garden soon.
ReplyDeleteWow - those colours are sensational! I must encourage my children to do something creative with leaves - a great idea.
