Garden Tuesday

In the rare, perfect autumn day, I relish the sight of an apple tree with spots of ripe, red fruit abounding.
The maples are sporting new colors these days.

The sky is a perfect montage of shades of stunning azure.

And yet another hidden advantage of living in an old house: a weather vane and lightning rod combination.

It looks lovely. We're on our fifth day of rain. Everything looks like mud.

Lovely autumnal trees in your yard, the maple is gorgeous.

(Who will you "volunteer" to pick the apples for you?)

I "heart" Garden Tuesday:)

I haven't been home to PA in two weeks. I hope the plants I brought in aren't too thirsty...

That weather vane looks mighty high. There are quite a few where I live in PA but I don't think they are as tall.

Thanks for sharing your pics, Marjie. Ah autumn...

Hey Thor! My foodables bowl is up high so that I don't have to work as hard, but momma kind of likes that water bowl because she only fills it halfway and that helps keep me from flinging my slobbers too far. I think a raised one would be great. That would give me a great spray radius.

Slobbers,
Mango
