While I was on Enders Island, Himself had a couple of visitors
Bare trees
Still brilliant color from the Leaf Lady's azaleas
The Japanese maple has turned color
Leaves
Leaves as far as the eye can see
The hydrangea leaves turned yellow
Berries on the honeysuckle vine
Heavy rains and wind on Halloween night brought down lots of branches. We lost electricity for a couple of hours when a tree fell on electric lines up the road a piece. We were lucky as electricity was restored in a couple of hours. The storm did lots of damage around the area with trees falling through people's homes 😱
The wind blew the cover off the turtle sandbox
One of the bunnies came out to silflay.
The wind took a few of the garden kites.
How does your garden grow?
It is looking just like at my house. Lots of leaves down, a few branches... yesterday the hubby and I spent a good chunk of the day cleaning up our leaves. Welcome November. Enjoy this Sunday. It is going to get dark so early...oh my! Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteEarly darkness is the downside of the time change
DeleteFall is pretty but depressing as you know what's coming... :-/
ReplyDeleteDeep sigh. 😞
DeleteLeaves, leaves everywhere. Squirrels, squirrels everywhere. They torture my old dog since he cannot move as fast as he once could.
ReplyDeleteLucky squirrels:)
Poor pupper. I haven't seen the squirrels around the yard lately.
DeleteThat was some storm, glad you stayed safe and that the electricity came back quickly. My chrysanthemums have at last started flowering! Valerie
ReplyDeleteGotta love the late bloomers 😊
DeleteIt sounds like y'all got quite the storm! We've had more rain than usual, but it's sunny today with a high expected in the 60s. I don't remember seeing this many squirrels on our patio before. Pushy, aren't they lol
ReplyDeleteLots of wind, lots of rain. At least it wasn't lots of snow like we had in 2011. 😺
DeleteThe wind and leaves! I miss the smell of wet leaves and feeling of cold wind. Homesick for Midwest.
ReplyDeleteI don’t like the cold and wet, but I do miss the smell of burning leaves when we were allowed to burn leaves
DeleteI love fall, but HATE winter! We have so many deer around us it is unreal sometimes! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI HATE Winter, too! 😺 We have deer around us. I've seen their footprints in the snow or signs they are eating shrubbery, but I rarely catch a glimpse of them
DeleteYou have a lot of downed leaves. The leaves here are just turning from green to DEAD. No color in between. Your trees have color and the ground is full of it, too.
ReplyDeleteSorry to read about the downed line. Your electric company works a LOT faster than mine. Looks like you had a lot of damage. I hope all is well.
The only leaves that are left on the trees are the oaks. They drop at the end of this month. I guess the electric company anticipated problems with this storm so had lots of crews on standby. Lucky for us
DeleteWe've had some windy days and the leaves really are falling.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, that was some storm. So pleased you stayed safe and thank goodness the electricity came back quite quickly.
At the moment it seems no matter where you live the weather continues to cause problems …
All the best Jan
Yup, not matter where you live the weather poses challenges.
Deletebeautiful - i love all those leaves and especially the hydrangia and those berries on the plant - .gorgeous photos.
ReplyDeleteI love the way the hydrangea looks at this time of year
DeleteBeautiful Fall colors. That deer looks like its color has darkened for the winter I guess. I'm glad your power was restored quickly. I always take electricity for granted until it goes out. I think there were a lot of power outages around me due to that Halloween storm, but at that point I was sick, so I didn't check the news, and only heard about it a few days later.
ReplyDeleteI think we all take electricity for granted. I'm glad you seem to be feeling better, too
