In the last week our beautiful hillsides and foliage have turned blah and almost bare. The colors never last long enough. Now we have a yard full of leaves and brown trees. We also had a frost last night and most of my summer flowers froze. I hate that part too but now I can empty the planters and put them away for winter. I've been stowing away the lawn furniture but have plenty more to do before the snow flies. I even had to do the unthinkable - I had to take down my beloved hammock! Oh how sad that makes me. *sigh* Please keep me in your thoughts and maybe share a moment of silence... (especially you,
Stacybuckeye! Someday you will get a hammock of your own. Until then you can lounge vicariously through mine. :D )
I did take plenty of photos of the wildflowers growing in our fields
because I knew the were the last of the season. I have to share one more
glimpse of autumn in my little part of the world. I hope you get to
enjoy the beauty where you live as well!

I'm sad to say goodbye to summer too. Your photos are lovely - they should help keep you warm this winter.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope it's a short winter. I'm ready for spring already!
DeleteYour pix of the flowers are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I do love flowers. :)
DeleteThose asters are glorious, but my favorite photos are of the frolicking pets!
ReplyDeleteWe are trying to make the most of the good weather we have left. I'm too lazy to play outside much in the cold!
DeleteI love the pictures! You have so much color left. Everything is pretty dead looking here. The pups look like they are enjoying Fall!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are from last week so it's pretty dead looking here now too. Ugh!
DeleteI love that flash of light with the milkweeds--lovely! And your dogs look too cute. :)
ReplyDeleteI liked that shot too. It was so pretty with the sun shining down through the trees. :)
DeleteReally great captures and if you find out the name of the white flowers, I'd love to know. They are all over the place here!
ReplyDeleteI'm very curious about it because I don't recall seeing it much around my house.
DeleteOh, your poor hammock, to be shunned like this. It deserves a better home. Maybe somewhere near Cleveland?
ReplyDeleteShunned?? It gets to stay in the house while everything else heads to the garage or shed for the winter. I may even move one of my boys to the porch so it can have a bedroom! Good try, Stacy, but you're not getting my hammock!! :D
DeleteYou had me with the loveliness until goldenrod... I'm so allergic to the stuff.
ReplyDeleteThat would be awful! I think my hubby and one of my sons are developing hayfever. Spring and fall really bother them now.
DeleteLovely flower and dog photos, enjoy your last hurrah before winter.
ReplyDeleteLast hurrah - that's so depressing but true! The anticipation is sometimes worse than the real thing. Sometimes.
DeleteGorgeous photos - I love autumn colours. No Snapshot from me this week, but I'm enjoying looking at everyone else's.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy looking at everyone's photos. This is my favorite meme!
DeleteYour dogs are lovely too. And I'm quite jealous of your fall foliage ... we don't see a lot of that here in Southern California.
ReplyDeleteI would miss the seasons if we didn't have them but I would be happy to trade you some of your California weather in January and February! :D
DeleteDebbie, your Mums are fabulous! So lush and full. You must have a green thumb.
ReplyDeleteThey are really beautiful but not because of me. The local farmer's market has amazing mums every year and so cheap too! I couldn't resist them!
