So many leaves are on the ground. So many colors. So many textures.
I love Fall… I just don’t like that it ends too soon!!

Fall is here… and ORANGE is my favorite color! 🧡 So I’m excited that my back porch has taken on a new autumn appearance! Thanks to the folks at ART IN THE BARN who decorate the art fair grounds with mums, pumpkins & gourds…and then sell them off at the end as a fundraiser for the hospital auxiliary board. I was there for it… I mean… ORANGE 🧡 🧡 🧡 !!!

Celebrating a little Texture Tuesday with these great bi-color leaves. No idea what they are… most likely a weed… as they’re growing along the railroad tracks across from Lillstreet Art Center!

Ohhh, that color though!!! Just a crazy pop of color on “that one special tree” along my morning bike route. As much as I’m grasping for Summer to last longer… this tree is pretty AMAZING!!!

Beautiful color… but FAR too soon!!! I’m still desperately trying to hang onto Summer!!!
Officially we have three more days of Summer… no need to jump too fast into Fall.

The first of many falling soon… but not too soon I hope!

Looks like Tina’s Mom has a great collection of my green pottery! And I love when I see people actually using their pieces… and not just sitting on a shelf. Thanks for the photos Tina!
