joene's garden: joene's garden

Autumn joys

dogwood leaves 10-2009How I would love to capture the warmth and beauty of a sunny fall day.  I'd release the colors, smells, and waning sunlight to brighten my office in dreary February.

Tree leaves, like this dogwood, glow in full fall glee.  Miscanthus seed heads sway in the breeze.  Waning ferns show off their beauty against still green carex.   Beech trees beckon one out to the crisp fall air.

Enjoy these days and the beauty that waits outdoors … New England's gifts seem boundless.

Joene,

Great photos of fall in its glory! As I take my walks this time of the year I think abut how fortunate I am to live in a place where we have such wonderful change of seasons. I can't imagine missing this show...of course in the winter I day dream about living on the beach.

Seasonal change is one of the absolute best aspects of living in New England ... and if we didn't go through the cold winter months do you think we'd enjoy spring as much?

  • A hosta habitat, but so much more:
    • joenesgarden: If you make a road trip to CT, Christine, you must let me know so I can meet you at O'Brien Nursery
    • joenesgarden: It is a real treat for visitors - definitely dream-worthy, Deb.
    • Christine B.: That Daphne has been on the to-buy-at-any-cost list for several years. I don't suppose I'll see it up here anytime soon. Wish we had a hosta nursery where I live but I suppose it's a good excuse for a road trip, right? Christine in Alaska
    • debsgarden: Wow! Heaven for hosta lovers! I could have spent hours there. I also love ferns and evergreens, so this would be a real treat for me. I will dream about it!
    • joenesgarden: Debbie, I'm sure you will choose the best spot. I'll watch for any future assessment you have. The low growing acer is one of the plants on my want list.
    • joenesgarden: Cyndy, it's easy to find 'excuses' to return. Maybe we need a CT bloggers' visit to O'Brien's.
    • Debbie: Joene, Your photos perfectly captured that wonderful afternoon at O'Brien's. yes, the rumor is true...I snagged the 'groundcover acer'. I still haven't planted it yet, I'm trying to figure out the perfect spot for it.
    • Cyndy: Hi Joene, I completely missed 'Deep Blue Sea' and that acer - guess I'll have to go back! Thanks for the link love :)
  • Nasturtium chronicles:
    • joenesgarden: Sounds like a great plan, Laurrie. Be sure to share photos with us next year.
