Oh, Mary, gourds and squash... two of my favorite things! Neat Maple leaf. It looks like one of those expensive designer kitchen tiles. What is it floating over?

Can you believe that with all the bulbs I've planted this fall (and all the ones still waiting to be planted) that I was eyeballing the bulbs at the store over the weekend? It's a sickness! LOL.


It is a sickness...really. Ask my husband. But I put up with his and he puts up with mine.
Mary, my squirrels would enjoy your first picture very much. Your second photo is very sad. It's got those back to school blues.
And Gloria, I might succumb and buy photoshop before Christmas but I want it to look like I bought it for the kids.

That leaf is floating in a plastic planter liner dish that my mom made into a birdbath.

Here's one of those squirrels now (all black)

Thank you, Mary, very interesting. I guess I've never seen one before. Except for the raised doohickeys, it looks like the tiles on my living room hearth.

Blazing, Donna! It's hard to believe that fall has already made it's way to Tennessee... it's still warm here, almost like summer.

I was thinking the same thing, DJ. I would expect Tennessee to be later than here since it's South. The dogwoods are turning though.

My Dad lives in Oak Ridge and had kept me apprised of the weird spring they had where everything leafed out and was then destroyed by freezing temps. My Dad told me that a lot of the nurseries got hammered and lost their inventory from that. I wonder if the "early" fall down there has anything to do with that... or is this when the leaves normally turn there? Very sad if it's a bad thing. I thought we weren't going to have a colorful fall here because the Ash trees went from green to crispy fried brown from the drought, but the Maples right now are a multitude of flaming fall colors. I don't remember this much variety in the ones that line our property, and yet the Sugar Maple only went from green to yellow, and not in the spectacular way I remember from seasons past. Could just be my memory, though. (Or maybe my eyes are fried from looking at so much Pumpkin paint.)

Spring was the same for us in middle TN. Nurseries not only lost product but sales. Plants can be reordered, but customers kept waiting for better weather to buy. I have many Iris. The whole season was wiped out. I need some of those rebloomers. I could be enjoying them now. Our spring freeze was also followed by summer drought. Mid Oct. is right for our fall foliage. It's when fall foliage railroad tours are scheduled.

Oh, brother, talk about adding insult to injury.

Interesting. I lived in Oak Ridge one summer and have been there for Christmas... guess that explains why I didn't know when fall colors occurred there. LOL.

Thanks Flower.

I keep saying I'm going to re-visit Clarkesville,TN/Fort Campbell,KY area. We were there long ago.

Here's a Halloween story for you. I received a book about the Bell Witch as a door prize at a luncheon. We went looking for her. It was getting late so we gave up and went home. I had one of those spooky dreams where you can't really tell if you are awake or still asleep of a strange old man knelt at the side toward the end of my bed praying. I couldn't get rid of that book fast enough. My spook hunting was over.

Eeeeek, Donna!

Sometimes we rent scary movies because they are about people who live in ratty old houses that look like ours [used to look]. Then we wish we hadn't. LOL.

Beaver Dam Creek


Funny, but my Mother talks a lot about the Beaver Dam Creek she played in as a child, but it's in Georgia.

Your photographs are stunning, and reflect what Autumn is all about. I will look at these many, many times, Donna.

LL,
I think it's like the town, Greenville. There's one in every state.

LOL -- I think you're right. But I do love that photo of your BDC. I came back to this thread just to look at it, although I know it's on your website also. Tennessee is a beautiful state.

TN is beautiful this time of year. I used to go to Gatlinburg every year around this time, but haven't been down there since 2002. The good thing is the fall colors are still painted in my mind as if were yesterday. I think the fall colors of TN are one of those things you never forget.
