First heavy frost of the season caught us unprepared. I better spend some extra time this weekend putting the garden to bed for the winter, I thought I still had a week or two . At least the sedums don't mind the cold, some roses are resisting as well, and the box can take the frost, but my lovely dahlias have admitted defeat and said goodbye until next year.

ReplyDeleteWe went to visit the wonderful Chateau at Chantilly on Thursday and I was very suprised to see a heavy frost on the lawns....it looked so beautiful under the all the autumn trees....what a beautiful part of the world!

ReplyDeleteDebra,
Sharon, your garden is so lovely, what a rich array of purple sedum......it looks beautiful! The dahlia is stunning, what a joy to still have such abundant colours and blossoms this time of year. I guess everything does eventually need to rest.....

Isn't it bittersweet? It makes you grateful for each day's beauty. We just left Italy and stopped in Munich for a layover, which was only 1 degree C. Rome was 22! Maybe next year we'll make it to see you!
ReplyDeleteWe are fortunate to be on Lake Erie, which keeps us warmer than surrounding areas for a couple of weeks longer.
Happy weekend!

There is something especially lovely about an autumn garden.
ReplyDeleteSoothing somehow.
Your garden is fantastic, you live in a wonderful place.
ReplyDeleteYour garden reminds me Gramado's gardens, in south of Brasil. They are fabulous, too.
Thanks for sharing so beautiful images.
