Saying Good Bye to Summer...

 

We are cleaning out the flower beds...



This is the view out the front door...





The hydrangea are even more beautiful

at this last stage of of blooming...





The blue blossoms have turned pink and purple





I capture lots of images of them this time of year...





I will miss them over the winter months ahead...





These images will keep me inspired 

until next spring...





The rain is coming and the flower beds

need to be put to bed for the winter...





We mulch the flower beds with

lots of leaves from the flowering cherry trees...











The Red Maple trees are still

putting on a show...





They soaked in all of that bright sunshine

all summer long...





Now they are giving it back so us

with all of these bright colors...




I feel as if we are saying

Good Bye to Summer...


You are welcome to use these images

in your personal art work,

if you are so inspired.

  1. Your garden is beautiful, no matter the season! Why do you put the cherry tree leaves in the flower beds? What do those leaves do that no other leaves can?

    1. Hi Farm Quilter,
      The trees mulch the flower bed and help prevent weeds from growing...as the leaves decompose it adds nitrogen to the soil. These leaves are thick and last much longer than most other leaves that rot and disappear quickly. These leaves are still there come spring time.

  2. LuAnn,
    Beautiful pictures! I so enjoy reading your blog and seeing what you are doing. I grew up on a farm in northern Indiana and your cattle and working in the field pictures speak home to me. Your quilting and creating photos challenge me to try something new. Thank you so much for sharing. Your posts just make me smile.

  3. That maple tree is fantastic! I have never seen one in person, but I have imagined this is what a majestic maple would look like. Winter is coming, and your yard looks fabulous.

  4. (You may get 2 comments)--Your fall is soooooo beautiful. That maple tree is glorious-it must be a joy to see in all the seasons. The hydrangeas are my favorite, but our seasons are too short to see the change in colours, so it was nice to see yours in transition. Lovely pictures!

    1. Hi Dahn,
      When we moved into our new house in 1987 the first thing we did was plant lots of trees. We love the fall colors and wanted them right in our own yard! Lots of fir trees grow here in Oregon, but we wanted lots of colors!

      Hugs,
      LuAnn
