No place like home !

October has arrived with the changing hues of the leaves .....chilly nights and shorter days have begun to close the chlorophyll production down .

   And green leaves dissapear from the branches.
    What is a spectacle of vibrant color is really nature's announcement that she is about to settle down for a long winter's nap.
  Funny how many times does that happen ?  A Crescendo annoucing the change of something in your life ? Like the Grand finale of a fireworks display .  We are left with a color filled sensory over load ...before branches go bare.
  It has  been a wonderful year in the gardens of New England ...in a tough economy that has people staying closer to home ...Nature has arrived with a perfect year to enjoy our own backyards!
  She has given us abundant warmth and sunshine and blooms , and now has balanced the former drought with an abundance of rain .
  There is little to complain about in the gardens this year . Little that can be improved upon .
   It was a great year to be a gardener !
   And now her Fabulous finale !
   I am fortunate to sit and type under a gorgeous maple that this time of year believes it is part of the sun itself ! She bursts forth with all the hues and colors of a glorious sunset !
   The trees in my yard awe and humble me .....no matter how wonderfully planted the garden is ....I can not put on a display as well as they do !
    Perfect foliage of which tours are launched and people speak of for years .......is here ...in my shade trees ......in my own backyard .
   I am not lost on the "There is no place like home "...reality of it all .
