Hello everyone!
We had a nice sunny Autumn day for our last tour of the season. Why don't you come along with us and see the autumn colors in our garden. We did have a frost a couple of times but not a killing frost.
This will be the last time this year for a big bus to roll in with some lovely visitors from Japan.
There was 27 visitors today for a house and garden tour. I was happy to have such a nice sunny day for them to enjoy their visit.
The little "Gardener's Cottage' always meets with approval!
This beautiful gentle lady brought me a gift of powered green tea and the cup,wisk, etc. to make it. She also,gave me a demonstration on how to make it.
The garden is mostly fall foliage colors now.
We make a little trek down to the woods and the brook.
It is very peaceful in here.
The ferns add interesting color in the autumn.
The hillside garden.
Hosta,Japanese Barberry and limelight hydrangea.
Japanese Barberry up close and personnal. I love the bright red seeds..
The fall blooming monkshood gives some late season color.
The 'Burning Bush' or
Euonymus alata "Compactus" is putting on a good show.
The virginia creeper on the chimney and side of the house is turning red here.
Well, this pretty much ends our tour but you may wander around if you please.
This is where I like to spend my evenings with a cup of hot apple cider.
Thank you to all who have joined me in a late season tour around our garden.
I am joining
French Country Cottage for Feathered Nest Friday today
Take care,
Carolyn

Carolyn, I really enjoyed this tour around your fall garden. The colours are so rich and vibrant. I guess I didn't realize that the tourists come on big busses! :) I imagine it must be one of the highlights of their trip to PEI! Pamela
Barberry and Burning Bush are two of my faves! I just love the color of their foliage this time of year. What a wonderful experience to have visitors to your garden!
As always, every visit to your gardens and home leaves me astounded. The colors in the garden take my breath away. Sigh.......
I'm sure this tour will linger in their minds long after your guests have returned home!
Hi Carolyn,
Well I have enjoyed this and every tour of your garden! Your fall show is beautiful... and your pondside fireplace would be an amazing place to spend an evening or two! We started having light frosts a couple weeks ago... and the rain has finially returned.
Hugs,
Bella
Gorgeous! Love this place! Thanks for sharing!

Carolyn I always love strolling through your lovely gardens any time of the year! Fall is so beautiful there- our fall is over within days it seems - the wind comes and blows all the loveliness off the trees.

I didn't know your island until now. I know sooner or later I come to Canada, now there's a reason more.
Love.

Carolyn, words cannot express how beautiful your gardens are. Do the Japanese act favorably impressed? What a joy it must be to sit by your lake and watch the fog lift..Happy Wednesday..Judy

Very kind of that gentle woman to bring you a gift of tea and accoutrements, and show you how to make it - that is so polite and respectful. She has such a sweet look on her pretty face.
It's a shame they toured so late in the season,but even late your gardens are beautiful.
I will miss all your blooming colour until next spring - more than my own because my gardens are so bleh. I am such a newbie gardner. I have SO much more to learn before much happens with mine.

The autumn colours are really lovely - I'm sure that your visitors must have enjoyed their tour.
They had to be tickled pink with both the tours, weather and great hostess! What a wonderful treat they got!! Just so (as my grand-daughter would say) 'jello'.
But in my heart and soul, I am there too. I see the earthiness of the leaves and autumn, I heard the crunch of the cripy leaves and I can almost taste what you servered them too.
with love and I know you were soo busy over your tour to even think about posting, but you did it anyway.

Your Japanese visitors must have loved their stay in your garden. It's beautiful no matter what time of the year.
Beautiful present you got there. And the womans kimono looks adorable.
Hope you have a great day.
Love Elzie
Que passeio maravilhoso!

Your post has made me want to look at my gardens fall foliage different. In yours I saw the beauty of the colors, instead of just plants ready to hibernate.
Your garden look lovely.It's true what the previous person Ann wrote. Someones elses garden in autumn when all the leaves have turned to their autumn colours or fallen, look better than in your own garden. It just seems like work having to clear it all up. Great photos.have a peep at my garden not open to the public for tours but admired by many visitors who come to holiday in our cottage during the summer.
Hi Carolyn, Your garden still looks lovely. I would love sitting by the pond in the evening. Today I cut back all the hosta as we have had a couple of very hard frosts.
Oh, so beautiful! Thanks for a grand online tour!
So very lovely, Carolyn.
Will you be posting a Christmas blog this year?
I certainly hope so!
It looks beautiful in every season and I know your visitors were thrilled with your hospitality too! You always shower us with lots and lots of beautiful photographs. Love you for that <3
Thanks for sharing your lovely garden. It's so beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful... particularly that one photo on the dock, with the little firepit, the adirondack chairs, and cozy plaid throw. Heavenly! ♥
just breathtaking, I love the colors in your wonderful Autumn garden!!
Breathtaking, beautiful, and oh so serene, Carolyn! I can only imagine how impressed your visitors were with the beauty surrounding them as they walked your property. :)

Thank you for the virtual tour, but I confess I do wish I were among your visitors in real life.
Maybe some day...
I couldn't be more jealous!! Your house is beyond beautiful & my guess is that it's just a reflection of you life. Married to your school sweetheart!! My boyfriend just left me after only four & a half years :-(. But I'm going stright to plant all the bulbs I asked him to.
God bless you all,
Cristina
