Autumn Beauty



Hello everyone,

What an amazing day we had here today.....
sunny and warm perfect for our fall
garden cleanup.

It would have been perfect for a fall picnic as well
but alas duty calls.
The picnic above was from a few years ago.


We often pass by this beautiful farmhouse going
to and from our home and cottage.
It looks especially pretty with fall foliage and
a reflection in the water.






Last week on our trip down east I took
these  photos that show the beauty of
autumn on the Island.



Before starting our fall cleanup in the garden
I took a few shots of the autumn beauty in
our garden.
It was a pleasure to be out there enjoying the
beautiful day as we cut down all the
perennials in the beds and hauled the top
foliage to the compost pile.
So far, this year we have not had a killing
frost so even the annuals are still
looking good in pots etc.
Last year by this time we had a hard
frost already.


This was taken last year on one of our walks
through the woods.

Our pond has taken on it's fall colors too.



Well that is a little peek at some of the 
beauty that we are enjoying here now.
I want to make the most of it as all too
soon the leaves will fall and we will
be into November~ time flies doesn't it!

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn

Autumn on the Island



                                                           Hello everyone,


                                                 I hope you had a good week.We are
                                                 our beautiful autumn foliage colors
                                                 here on the Island.
                                                    So, my husband and I took a few
                                                 afternoon drives in the country to
                                                 enjoy the beauty of the Island in all
                                                 it's autumn splendor.
                                               
One beautiful afternoon we took
a drive down east. This shot was
taken in Montague.



Knox's Dam is always a beautiful
place to go in any season
but especially fall and winter
after a fresh snowfall.
I love how the house blends so well
with the beautiful surroundings.

It was a beautiful sunny and calm day.



I have more photos to share
of other areas that we enjoyed
but hopefully another day.

Hope you are enjoying the beauty
of nature in your area as well.

We have started our fall garden
cleanup so another season in
the garden is coming to a close.

Have a lovely weekend!

Carolyn
