October in New England

It was a beautiful 70 degrees here today so I headed outside, with camera in hand, so I could share it with you! (brrrrr... the 40's are predicted for tomorrow!)


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....
