Sunday Walk around the yard



This isn't in my yard but on my Dining Room table. These little Thanksgiving Pilgrims are as old as our oldest daughter, Megan. She is 28. I bought them for her very first Thanksgiving! We love them and cherish them. Someday I will give them to her.




These are the woods directly behind our house. When you look through the woods there is a pond on the 3rd hole of the Providence Country Club Golf Course. John and I feel like we live on a lake through the woods!




This yarrow looked so wooly and nestled in my garden. Sometimes I forget about it because it is in the very back of the garden. When it blooms it looks so beautiful there by the Butterfly Bush (Buddleia).




Grasses swaying in the garden.




One of the last Angel Trumpets in my garden.

You ask what in the world did she take a picture of! Well this is the image of a bird that flew into our screened porch storm door! The bird is fine. It was a morning dove. You might not be able to tell in the picture too well but you can see the eyes, beak, head, wings, body and tail of the dove. She hit the window, slowly fluttered to the ground, shook herself off and flew to the birdfeeder and stuffed her face!

I hope you have enjoyed the stroll today. It was another gorgeous day here in Charlotte, NC!! The colors on the trees were stunning! The yellows, golds, reds and oranges made the trees look like they were in a blaze of color! I love this part of Fall! Enjoy!!

  3. I like the center piece on your table. The little Pilgrims are so cute. You have a lovely Brumsmania, I have wanted one but they would be difficult to keep overwinter here in IL.

  5. I love your angel trumpet, they are so beautiful. I am jealous of your walk about, it's still so beautiful down there. I thought for a moment you captured a ghost and would be calling TAPS :)
