Fall Is In The Air

Happy Wednesday to you!  You've heard me saying that it feels like fall has arrived here in northern Colorado; first it was the Palisades Peaches that were 6-8 early, then it was the Cicadas chirping and now it is my Mums that are in bloom.  Typically, we don't have blossoms until late August or early September-but all of mine are blooming. This yellow beauty is huge and has the most blossoms out; I have two more in this bed and three out in front.  I love Fall and all that it brings-scented candles, Mums, fires in the fire pit or fireplace and of course football.  However, I'm not ready to start thinking about winter being early.  I am also praying that we are able to hit some peak colors when we get to New England in Oct.
I hope you have a fantastic day today!
Joy to you.

Fall Colors

 

I am pleased to say that my Mums in the front bed are coming back, after being destroyed in the hailstorm in August. The flowering red plant though is not one of them; I hit the market yesterday and the prices had been reduced. What's a girl to do but pick up two. I would have picked up several more for the back yard as well but thought that might be pushing hubby a bit to far. I love Mums; they seem to last until a heavy frost and they come back bigger each year. Nothing says fall like flowering Mums in my yard. I also got this cute garden flag(which I didn't intend to put up until our roof was done and house painted, but couldn't wait)while in Ca. at a Wild Bird store. I love the colors.

 

I always try to pick a Mum that goes with this wreathe but even if this gold one doesn't, it does say Welcome Autumn to me. I hope you have a glorious day, enjoying fall in your area.
Blessings,  Noreen
