The leaves are peaking around here now, and it is so beautiful!!
Here’s the private drive to our house and the most beautiful tree:
Here’s our driveway: (I took this a few days ago — still some green!)
Here’s that favorite bush I keep taking pictures of in our side yard:
And here’s another from the side yard:
Happy Fall!!

The leaves are turning – here in New England! We are certainly not at peak yet (the news said it was peaking in Maine; we still need time for the color to move south), but it is changing! Here are some pictures from my sideyard (click on them for best results!):
I think I like the yellows best! We have all sorts of trees around us – we basically live in the woods. They were all here when we built the house (which is in what was a meadow). The birch trees are so pretty in the fall! Our neighbor has the most lovely red maple trees that turn a gorgeous color, too.
I’ll keep posting as the weeks pass.

Living in New England, we have some beautiful falls!
Here you can see that the leaves are just starting to turn at our house:
Here is a close-up:
I’ll post more pictures as we get into October and more into “peak” leaf peeping season!

In keeping with the theme of critters in the backyard, here’s a family of turkeys that like to strut through once or twice a week!
We also have a lovely fox that comes through, but he’s much harder to catch on camera.

My daughter and I returned from the store and saw this little friend in the backyard. He let us get pretty close to him as he nibbled clover in the grass! π

Happy Spring! This is our front door. Happily you can see there is no snow on it, or near it, or leading up to it – and my (faux) forsythia wreath looks quite cheerful! In New England we have about three weeks of spring and then – bam! – time for humidity and summer. π

The other night the moon was spectacular! I don’t have the best resolution here, but this is what it looked like when we got home at about 7 PM.

Here what the first day of Spring looked like in my backyard in New England!!
Pretty – but I hope the snow is gone by Easter (it’s hard to hunt eggs in the snow – lol!).

Have you read Jane Langton’s books? I’ve loved Ms. Langton’s books since I was a little girl, especiallyΒ her Hall Family children’s books. Jane’s “Homer Kelly” cozyΒ mysteries follow the exploits of a mild-mannered Harvard professor who stumbles upon and solves mysteries, often in the New England countryside. While I was in Hawaii I received an email from an editor at Open Road Media to say that Ms. Langton’s mysteries were being re-released with new e-book covers. You can check out this link with video for more info; it focuses on how Ms. Langton doesΒ her own illustrations.Β Check it out!

Thanks, Open Road Media, for letting me know and having me pass the word along! And if you have never read Ms. Langton, and you enjoy mysteries and New England, you are in for a real treat. π
