At last we are getting some fall color in the yard. We have a row of silver maples along the road out front, most are hollow and we are told they will die....who knows when, in the meantime, they get a beautiful yellow and they will stay until Mother Nature says otherwise.

The trees got their color so late, I am afraid they will loose their leaves too soon for us to enjoy them very long.
This is the small dogwood by the front drive that everyone tells me I need to remove....haven't done it yet.

Nothing can beat the common euonymous shrubs for brilliance.

The west yard is full of trees. We lost some huge ones to tornadoes and ice storms over the years and we have replanted, white oak, swamp oak, red maple and a pin oak that are getting to be a nice size. The October Glory red maple doesn't get full sun now that the trees on the south side are so large....the color is late and not as bright as other years. It is very hard to find full sun in our yard and if I do, it would block a path for the tractor or truck to access a field..........so no planting in those zones.

Nothing on schedule for today other than normal daily routine. I will milk this morning.
Very pretty. I just love fall colors.

Trees & shrubs are beautiful even this time of the year...thanks for sharing!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures! We have oaks, poplars and dogwoods on the mountain so mostly browns, yellows and reds. When we moved here I said at least we won't have to plant any trees, but 5 years later and I think we need some maples...
ReplyDeleteI miss fall color....beautiful trees and shrubs you have around your neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are beautiful. I'm going to check our local nursery for the eunonymous shrubs. I love the color and would like some on the north side of our house.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love when things turn bright red and yellows. Not a whole lot of color out our way, an occasional pretty one on the way to town.
ReplyDeleteSeems like you have pretty lively weather, what with tornadoes and ice storms! But your beautiful autumn colour is maybe a slight compensation.
