Fall Bouquets




There is nothing better than a spring garden.
That is until fall rolls around.
Chilly nights.
Beautiful crisp sunrises.
Pink sunsets.
And fall bouquets.
The ones that need to be cut and brought inside
because no one sees their beauty outside.

Everything outside is beginning their preparation
for the long winter.
Leaves are turning and drying.
Colors are muted.
Acorns are SLAMMING on the rooftops.

Jack o lanterns, money plants and the remaining hydrangea.

While looking for paint colors today,
I smelled, then bought some cinnamon pine cones.
I don't know anyone who does not like that smell this time of year.
Well, when they first put out the display,
it is overwhelming.

What a glorious day!
I am thankful!

Love the Japanese lanterns! I have a million of those beautiful papery orange things growing out of my compost pile and the weeds along the side of the garage! Such pretty flower-faces to see glowing in the dim morning. :)
