Autumn Glow, originally uploaded by digitalART2.
It’s the first day of autumn. As a gardener, I am supposed to be unhappy about this, but frankly, I love fall! I love kicking leaves on long walks. I love crisp, cold air enjoyed while bundled up in long scarves. I love the smell of falling leaves and burning piles. I love sweaters and gumboots and mugs of tea. So yeah, the peak gardening season is over, but I’m cool with that. Now’s the time to snuggle in and dream about next year!
Happy autumn, everyone.

I love the fall also. I enjoy the changing of the leaves, cooler temperatures. Unfortunately, it then become winter! Blah!!

John – you know, I think I just like the changing seasons. I love the first sign of spring, I love the first day you can go out without a jacket on, and I love the smell of fall. But you’re right – winter I don’t love so much!

god, that’s beautiful. i would love to plant a vine maple in front of my house just to enjoy the fall color. i’m not sure that it would work in my zone, but i’m going to try anyway. fingers crossed.

I’m totally with you, love the transitional seasons, winter/summer not so much, although they do have their joys. Hooray for fall!
Willi says
Yay for fall! Call me crazy, but I always enjoy pulling out my vegetable garden and composting it.
