My Pink & Green Autumn...

This tree stands outside my bedroom window. I meant to take a picture of it with all the leaves still on it, but I was a day too late. I love looking out at that red barn. It makes me happy. It belongs to our neighbor, a retired orthopedic surgeon... we have no idea what's in there. I do know he has some grapes... I think he should turn it into a little winery... I've told him as much. I covet his house. I'll try to get a picture of it. I want to move there when I retire!





I don't know what these bushes are but they are gorgeous! I've never seen pink in the fall before! Our whole cul-de-sac is lined with these beautiful bushes. Tomorrow I'll get my shears and cut a few so I can enjoy them indoors!





This bright red maple tree belongs to another neighbor. The red is outstanding!



Here the trees (a town away) are only just starting to turn...




And another reason I love the fall! Starbucks' Thanksgiving Blend is out! Just one more month before my favorite Christmas Blend hits the shelves. (My nighttime and morning beverages!)

And... I even saw a Red Cup this morning! I'll have to go tomorrow to see if it's really true! Oh I love this time of year... the cooler temperatures... the heavy sweaters... the fires in the fireplace... the red cups... the falling leaves... and the holidays!!!

It's a busy time of year but I love it so!!
