Even though we do not have any trees in our yard, there are lots in the neighborhood, and they did put on a nice show this year.<br /><br />I am enjoying my word verifications this evening. Earlier, I had, "squish" and now I have "gogbork". There should be a plant by that name. It's kind of cool.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-49873130516931018062011-11-14T18:39:49.909-06:002011-11-14T18:39:49.909-06:00Wow, that burning bush is incredible!

Sorry I can't access Dung Ho! I'll have to email you to see if I can view it.<br /><br />Joy, I thought the orange maple was just perfect for Halloween, too. Our weather has also been strange--I never know whether I'll need a winter coat for the day or a t-shirt:)<br /><br />Sweetbay, I'm praying those darn ash borers die out before they get here.<br /><br />Linda, Spring is still my favorite season of the year, but autumn is quickly becoming a close second.<br /><br />Priscilla, Thanks for stopping by! I love the colors of fall, too.<br /><br />Diaries, The maple really is a beauty each fall.<br /><br />Janet, I enjoy trying to capture the beauty of fall with my camera--and I'm often out taking photos in my pj's and ratty old robe, too:)<br /><br />Cyndy, The oak tree is my favorite; I once calculated its age, and I know it must be over 200 years old.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-68388097240490853692011-11-14T06:55:52.951-06:002011-11-14T06:55:52.951-06:00Tina, Looking forward to having those cosmic orang...Tina, Looking forward to having those cosmic orange cosmos again next year! The butterflies loved them.<br /><br />Renee, I was surprised, too, at how much color there was this fall, considering the dry summer we had. I'm not ready for snow!<br /><br />Lisa, The temperatures have sure done some flip-flopping. Yesterday was so warm, but the wind about blew me away while I planted bulbs.<br /><br />Gail, Our maple is always a show-stopper in the fall; I love it!<br /><br />Sarah, I've been lucky most of our leaves have been blowing away--I may get out of raking this year.<br /><br />Maggie, I love the colors of fall; I wish my camera could do them justice.<br /><br />Wendy, Thanks; it's always good to be back home. I was surprised when I got home that the leaves on the burning bushes had pretty much blown off--glad I got to see them at their peak before they fell.<br /><br />Rose, Although all my trees are bare, there are still colorful trees around town hanging onto their leaves. I'm enjoying it as long as I can.<br /><br />Beth, I wish I could have really captured the color of the hydrangeas--the leaves were just glowing. I don't remember them ever looking this pretty in past years.<br /><br />Sissy, I can't take credit for the maple because we didn't plant it, but you're right, it's perfectly shaped. The way the Illini are playing right now, I don't think it's worth the drive down to see them:)<br /><br />Dave, Thanks so much for hosting this!
