After almost two weeks of rain and clouds, the sun has finally made an appearance.
Leaves blanket everything.
The big oak behind the house is beautiful.
This ginkgo tree was a Mother’s Day gift 10 or 12 years ago.
In the woods, the elm leaves are bright yellow with spots of chocolate brown.
The red and orange sassafras leaves have already fallen. Only a few yellow ones remain.
The grasses will stay pretty all winter.
Even though we are in the waning days of autumn, a few flowers bloom here and there, around the yard.
Even the rhododendrons have put out some blossoms. I’ve never seen this bush bloom in the fall before.
And a few irises are reblooming. The purple iris from the family farm are always some of the earliest irises to bloom in the spring and we usually get a stalk or two in the fall.
The miniature iris ‘Baby Blessed’ is a great rebloomer. With enough moisture, it will rebloom several times during the season.
Some of the most beautiful days of the year occur in autumn. But autumn will wane quickly. Get out there and enjoy it while you can.
