The colors of autumn are upon us here in New England, even in our own little yard...

Pumpkins and mums have replaced the blooms of summer...

The vinca vine continues to grow like crazy, though, thriving despite the bitter autumn nights...

Sprigs of autumn leaves have been tucked among the few remaining impatiens...

... who have refused to give in to the increasingly cold temperatures...

"Jenny" and her friend have taken over the Adirondack chairs, and more autumn leaves sprout from clay pots where summer flowers once put on a show...

Wishing you all a delightful autumn and Halloween!!
