Fruit trees and brambles are hard to deal with, because they're so demanding right NOW. A lot of my sand cherries just dried on the bushes again this year. Enjoy those tomatoes! A warm hug, as always.<br /><br />Donna, my family took a fall driving trip to Niagara Falls when I was not quite three--I actually still remember the leaves, they were so gorgeous. I'm looking forward to seeing your photos of it this year! Autumn is beautiful everywhere, but the northeast seems live it up more than any place else.<br /><br />Sheila, I was actually wondering if your garden had recovered a little from the summer heat. A lot of things here have gotten a second wind.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297253093260251145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534450478022541384.post-6871004119245788692011-09-27T07:50:25.338-06:002011-09-27T07:50:25.338-06:00A beautiful post.

I already pulled many of the tomatoes and am eying up some of the annuals. I am ready for summer to be gone and fall to kick in. But you are right, a foot in both worlds right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534450478022541384.post-62325228384828447642011-09-26T17:26:58.551-06:002011-09-26T17:26:58.551-06:00Ah, such beauty you capture.

Thank you!<br /><br />We were warmer than normal last week, cooler than normal over the weekend with rain, and today its just about 70 with clouds and a little rain. <br /><br />I've picked the tomatoes that were ripe. The plums and berries got ahead of me, so I will do what I can with them later.<br /><br />Thanks so much!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />ElaineElainenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534450478022541384.post-12985494475842126582011-09-26T09:01:40.540-06:002011-09-26T09:01:40.540-06:00The sun was a warm glow today and lower in the sky...The sun was a warm glow today and lower in the sky. I'm ready for the more mellow earthy tones of autumn. It's been such a strange year.. 80F... I wish. I'm been looking forward to wooly jumpers and being knee deep in leaves on dog walks for a while...Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999513105724635810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534450478022541384.post-13528830135852304512011-09-26T05:29:24.150-06:002011-09-26T05:29:24.150-06:00I SO agree with you about the light of autumn - it...I SO agree with you about the light of autumn - it's all about that magical light!Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14949235207762990894noreply@blogger.com
