All good things come to an end, sad to say! I’ve enjoyed the warm weather, but I do look forward to my favorite season, fall or autumn as some call it.
Fall in New England is beautiful. I hope we have a successful season this year. Some years we have no had the gorgeous colors as other years when the trees shed their greenery and put on their fall outfits.
I snapped some pictures of the flowers that are still blooming around my deck and yard before they disappear until next year. The Rose of Sharon bushes, all 20+ have attracted all kinds of birds, bees, hornets, dragonflies and butterflies. It has been a cornucopia of insects to watch. Loved it!
Some of these Rose of Sharon bushes were seen through windows in our house. They are in the front and sides of the house. We are nearly surrounded by all their beauty. It is quite a sight. Many times, I spot hummingbirds drinking the nectar. These amazing little birds are now gone. It is definitely getting cooler and they felt it and knew it was time to travel south. I will miss then until next spring.
The hibiscus above the gallery had a ton of buds coming but no flowers to show at the moment. I don’t know if they will blossom before it gets colder. By that time, we will bring it in for the winter and enjoy its flowers until they are no more. For some reason it didn’t blossom as much as it used to. It is after all over twenty years old. That must be pretty old for a hibiscus. Sigh!
I hope you enjoyed my photos and help me say goodbye to them and summer. If you live in another part of the world where summer is the season, please enjoy! I will be sharing all the beauty of New England fall colors soon! In the meantime, catch up with your reading this fall!

Sad to leave all this beauty behind – even for the fall colors, which I love.
I agree but I’m still enjoying every minute they still bloom. Thank s for stopping by, Marsha.
Great to see you and your lovely flowers.
Thank you for sharing the beauty of summer transitioning into autumn… the best way we are aware here at our house, is that my sister is out and about transforming the front yard into her Halloween paradise (which is in full swing) – so here’s to welcoming autumn and all its splendor no matter where we are.
It’s what I love about New England the changing of the seasons. We never get sick of one for we know another is coming soon. I have to get our fall decorations out today.
Thanks for stopping by, my friend.
Your flowers are still beautiful!
Yes, especially the dahlias. They seem to like the cooler temps!
