Signs of Autumn
Autumn is one of our spelling words this week. So even though I usually refer to the season as ‘Fall,’ today I will use Autumn. It sounds much more formal, don’t you think? Maybe a tad stuffy? Autumn…. Fall….. yeah, I like Fall better. It suits me better. But every now and then I’ll just pop out with an ‘Autumn.’
So after a really nice, soaking rain last week, we finally have some decent signs of Autumn. It took so long for some color to appear in the leaves this year, that I was on the verge of believing that we were just going to skip color and go straight to freeze. I am NOT ready for cold weather yet!
So this is what we see in our yard:
Since my best blogging buddy, Dana, doesn’t really get an Autumn foliage, I especially wanted her to see these pictures.
Enjoy!
Gorgeous pictures!

Thanks, Robin.
I enjoy your “fall” foliage!
We have warmed back up and are now at a more traditional low 80’s daily high. I love it! Back in those shorts.
We usually get to wear shorts straight through Thanksgiving. Then, it’s a little cooler in December and then Jan & Feb are our coldest months. We rarely get below freezing - maybe 3-5 nights per year. A totally different environment, huh?
Enjoy your fall!!!
