The days are noticeably cooler, dusk comes earlier and the drifting leaves are starting to carpet the ground.
Autumn shades are coloring the hydrangea blooms
and the fern is looking sad and weary.Soon many of our perennials will be resting, gaining strength to burst forth come Spring. I will also be resting, ordering seeds from catalogs, planning where to grow my new plants, and looking forward to warm spring weather.

It is a wonder how ferns reacts by changing its color tone.... so autumn is received differently by many. ~bangchik
This is a strange year for us. Summer didn't seem to arrive til September. Some of the plants are looking "fallish" but many are still putting on a great show. No change in the leaves so far... but geese are starting to form large Vs overhead. Hoping that Jack Frost doesn't show up anytime soon... still waiting for red in the tomato patch.
Apparently autumn has arrived three weeks early here - a result of the wet summer :( Still it's good to be thinking ahead and making plans for next season.
