A foggy autumn day
Saturday was the perfect autumn day. The sky was foggy, the air was crisp and the colors were simply beautiful. I decided it was time that I start cutting down the dying plants in my garden to prepare it for winter, but when I went outside and saw how beautiful it was, I had to take pictures.

This one is my favorite:


I captured quite a few spider webs as well (thankfully, none in my house- heh):


Eventually I got around to clearing out some of the garden, only stopping when the large yard waste container was full. There's still plenty to do, but I want to make this last bit of gardening last as long as possible. I'll surely miss working in the dirt and the time it affords me to be completely alone in my thoughts.

I've always been one to say that Fall is my favorite time of year, but now it's bittersweet to me. I look around and see all of my lovely plants fading away, and at the same time see the magnificent hues of yellow, orange and red. I don't know whether to feel sad or happy.

I guess I'll just keep my thoughts toward knowing that my garden will be back in a few short months.

More fall pictures can be found on my flickr account.

I love the fall colors, we've really gotten lucky this year to be able to enjoy them before some rain or windstorm takes them all down. And what a gorgeous day today, watching the sunset at 5:00 over the mtns... sigh!

hugs,

The giant spider web is AMAZING! I guess instead of gardening during the fall and winter months you can be sewing! :D
