We're only on about a 1/3 acre lot, but there's a lot of color going on in our small yard...
Come on along and I'll show you some of it...
The backyard is ablaze with yellows, oranges, and reds.
Our sweet Suchi (Sooshi), who appears in my sidebar, is buried back here...
Every time we dig a hole to plant something, we find BIG rocks so over the years we've (and by we I mean hubby) built a meandering stonewall of sorts...
I actually don't use this birdfeeder anymore...
... but it's never been taken down. I truly like the convenience of the screen feeder off the dining room window (no trudging through the snow to fill it!)
I love our birch trees....
Fungus? Fungii?
One leaf hanging on ....
From behind the stone wall...
The girls thought this small strip of trees along our property line was a huge forest when they were little... They spent lots of time playing in there... And that's where our Suchi is now buried...
This is the maple tree that we lost a HUGE part of during a major ice storm last winter. Thank goodness a good portion of it survived because it's so beautiful...
There's still a lot of green in the yard. It's been a funny fall.. perhaps due to our extremely wet/cool early summer...
Another shot of the maple tree....
Wishing you all the beauty of autumn, wherever you make your home....
Donna
Spectacular! laurie
ReplyDeleteIt looks very pretty in your part of New England. It is nice here in my part of New England also. I think the foliage has been prettiest this past week. We got two nice days too but it was cooler and cloudy yesterday. I'm not sure what is in store for today...snow?
ReplyDeleteI love looking at the fall colors also. Come on over and view my colors at Lakewood. I hurried out and took some pics, too, cause the weather was to change very quickly.
ReplyDeleteLiving it up at Lakewood,

Hi Donna!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall photos! You're becoming quite the photographer!! The leaves are at peak in Ohio right now and I LOVE it. So gorgeous. It's like a lovely water color that God has painted to delight us with.
My son had a dog named Sooshi too. She was a little Dachsund and so adorable. She was hit by a car & it's life cut short - a big loss! I was so comforted to see your Sooshi's place of rest.
Hugs, sherry
Your yard looks beautiful, Donna! Love all the golds of Autumn and of course, your birch tree. Birches may be my favorite - they remind me of Northern Michigan, where I spent a great deal of time.
ReplyDeleteIt was in the high 70's here in Wilmington yesterday but I think the temp has dropped about 20 degrees!

Hello, Donna! Thanks for the tour - this is my absolute favorite time of year! I say, the cooler the better! Your backyard is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHello Donna, your Autumn leaves in your yard are stunning... I cannot get enough of the Autumn colors... I too would think that was an enchanted woods there, and how sweet your precious pet is layed to rest there in such a serene, beautiful spot... Bisous... Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteHi! I just discovered your blog and had to tell you that I LOVE it so much!! Your home is just beautiful and I love your love for animals. I am such an animal lover as well :)
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Your yard is beautiful. We moved from a yard full of trees to our now home were we've been planting small ones.
ReplyDeleteI hope someday our yard is as pretty as yours
very nice pictures!good week end
ReplyDeleteHi Donna!
ReplyDeleteThank you SO MUCH for stopping by and for your sweet comments. That means the world to me. I'm thrilled to have found a kindred spirit like you!
Very pretty Donna. I think we have hit peak foliage this weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt is so gorgeous all around. You have some beautiful trees in your yard.
I gave you an award, come to my blog to get it. If you don't want to participate it's ok.
Oh, I'd love to have all those glorious fall colors in my yard! So beautiful! That bird feeder probably keeps some little birdies dry when it's raining or snowing. So likely is serving a purpose for wildlife!

It's beautiful Donna. I would like to just say to my child let's go on a road trip! We are going to go down past the lake tomorrow....should be pretty.
ReplyDeleteSigh, looks just like Canada. And Minnesota for that matter. Hubby and I find it hard to be away during Fall. Thanks for sharing such beautiful pics!

P.S. I love that you have buried your beloved pet on your property.
