I actually am afraid I posted too early, but yet most of the trees that would be drop-dead gorgeous by now are simply fading away.<br /><br />The Loosestrife was a nice surprise for me this Fall. It probably has changed color before, but it is more pronounced this year... thankfully! :-)Shady Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007816271406393818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-35714326459109047992009-10-16T13:42:23.090-05:002009-10-16T13:42:23.090-05:00Autumn color looks pretty decent around your house...Autumn color looks pretty decent around your house. Here, it stinks. I can't tell if we're past peak or haven't reached it yet, or are at peak. That's how bad.

Anyway, I agree that the burning bush is beautiful!! However, if you don't have one yet, look around for the seedless variety. I have tons of seedlings in the Spring..<br /><br />Hi Joco, Thanks for visiting again. I had to laugh... I know, I know... getting out of the car is the best idea. However, I did look both ways before trying to take photos from inside the car. :-)<br /><br />Troutbirder, If YOU aren't seeing color up there... I'm going to assume that the trees that are fading from green to browns and dull yellows will probably stay pretty much that way. We've enjoyed some sunshine today!! yea!<br /><br />Rosemary, I'll watch for your post. You will have a good one, I'm sure. :-)<br /><br />Hi Nancy, As I drove out this morning, I thought perhaps I was premature, but when you look closely... perhaps not. We may last awhile longer, but I'm not sure there will be a lot more color. (Hope I'm wrong!!!) :-)<br /><br />Rosey, Snow! How much did you receive? My daughter, in Omaha, received 6" last weekend! <br /><br />Hi Catherine, Today is a busy day so I'm not able to get out and actually DO anything too constructive today. I did enjoy the sunshine this morning. I wonder if more clouds are coming our way, now?
