As the trees begin their seasonal striptease, leaving their coloured coverings laying about....Wisps of grey cloud the sky now, a scarf warming the land for the cold approaching...a nip in the air wakes us up to what is coming and what has left.
I am sad to see such an
amazing season depart. Summer here at La Maison M-J was perfect for me, and nature never ceased to tickle us with all the things we
discovered as the months passed. The time spent outdoors playing, walking and just watching life was priceless--our city souls are soothed and as we move indoors with shorter days and longer nights I begin to see the work ahead. But before I bore you with humdrum life inside, let me share just a couple of the Fall Surprises our new home has given us.
As the jungle of green along the creek began to shrink, the red vines enrobing the house tumbled to the ground & the tall grasses along the fence turn wood brown, new life began alongside. We came out one morning to see a blanket of beautiful, varying shades of pink, cyclamins circling the Tilleul tree in the front yard. (I'm learning the French garden words, forgive me if I don't translate them now...google is your friend people!)
On the front of the house, the window high rosebush had a last, magnificent bloom of all the branches that spent the summer growing.
And out and about we focus again on a landscape that takes our breath away. Summer made it a green vista and now the technicolour coat of golds, reds and browns accentuates the rolling hills and land divisions.
The rain has let up outside now, so I have to take Freya out for some mole digging in the newly bare cornfields....her Fall horizons are looking up....or is that down?!

My my aren't we full of alliteration today. :) Oh I bet is it amazing there. Our leaves are all turning now and I am little sad that they will all be gone soon.
BTW - you can camp but you really can't camp in our development.
I adore fall and all of its colors. I live in CA so they are kind of limited but we went to CT last year and it was gorgeous!
gorgeous - both photos and descriptions.
