Beautiful fall colors in our garden!

Fall is really settling in now. Our temperatures are unusually high, so I took advantage of this and took some great pics of our "fall-garden"!
Of course, my sweeties were there too ;)

I hope you all liked these :)

I love looking at your garden! The furry plants are my favourite ;)

The fall garden is beautiful. I love seeing your pictures and stare at each one - anytime you post garden pictures.

I have a pretty big garden, but not the expertise that Bernard has. I wish I knew more! I can never keep it looking full enough. Mine is really pretty in the spring with bulbs - but I worry I will destroy the bulbs when I add more plants - and so plant lots of annuals. Never enogh though.

Anyway, thank you for posting your wonderful garden pictures, Lut :) I enjoy seeing the furry kitty plants too.

You have a wonderful garden. It's absolutely beautiful. I bet the kitties enjoy it, too!

Beautiful photos! You have a lovely garden, my mom and grandpa would be in heaven!! :)

How beautiful! The kitties sure love your garden too. Thanks for sharing!

What great photos. You truly have a beautiful garden. :)

:) Lut you always have such a Lovley Garden & the Flowers are so breathtaken.. However my favorite is the Furr Purr Babies that accent the pictures.. Great pics thanks

No matter the season, your garden is always gorgeous :D Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful pics! I enjoyed them all. I love seeing the kitties out and enjoying themselves as well. :)
Thanks for sharing!

What a beautiful garden you have Lut. How nice it must be to sit out and enjoy it! :)

I love the Fall, even the garden in fall offers a beauty, and course the birds and chipmunks and other small creatures enjoy the seed on the drying plants.

We just got our back deck finished, well not 100% but 95%, the rest will get done in the Spring. But man as soon as it went up we had visitors.

New camera so I have not learned how to set date/time etc yet.

Wow, your garden looks beautiful! How is the weather there? :eek:

Your garden is so pretty!

You have the yard we all wish we had! I love looking at your back yard!


iamgobsmacked, I love your deck and the "built in" animals...

Thanks, hubby did a nice job. He had to do the front first. Our concrete porch was falling off. So he did a wooden one with a little Pergola. The front garden was very nice this year, but it did get a little wild since we were so busy building. But hey, we live in town cut out in the middle of a forest so we don't need to keep everything trimmed. Will post a picture of the front porch before and after. It's amazing what you can get a man to do with a cold beer!

I haven't told him yet that next summer we are building our own arbor front and back with the same cedar so that all the woods match! and of course that asphalt walkway has to go. It can be our little secret till the weather gets hot and the beer gets cold. lol

Wonderful pictures as always Lut!! Your yard is absolutely perfect and looks so inviting. No wonder the kitties love to play outside. Thanks for sharing!! :)

iamgobsmacked: Great pictures also!! :)

I like the animals too, at least most of them. We had a bear on the back deck two nights in a row. They pooped all over. Now I don't mind bears, but not in my backyard. So I had to take away all the bird food for a while. And I love deer, but they ate over 200 tulips in my front yard this Spring, so heh, I put a salt lick out for them. I figure if they leave everything else alone, they can have the tulips. I did get to see them for a day!~
