“In the garden, Autumn is, indeed the crowning glory of the year, bringing us the fruition of months of thought and care and toil. And at no season, safe perhaps in Daffodil time, do we get such superb colour effects as from August to November.“
—Rose G. Kingsley, The Autumn Garden, 1905

Where we live, we do not have blazing, glorious colors in the fall. But the colors we do have are beautiful to me. As far back as I can remember, all I have known is the ugly brown of the leaves from the pecan tree or the bright orange of the needles from the pine tree. Here at Hidden Pines, we have 2 trees in the front yard that have gorgeous leaves in the fall. I love to watch them fall when a good breeze blows. They are beautiful blanketing the front porch that some young lady forgot to sweep.:)

Leaves Blanketing the Porch

The brown-eyed susans are everywhere down here, but this is the first place I’ve lived in where they were close to my house. The are so pretty with the goldenrod. Unfortunately, everything is already fading.

Brown-Eyed Susans

These are the last brown-eyed susans at the pond. I hate to see them go.

Fall at the Pond
