Happy Fall Y'all,
Things are starting to wind down in the garden. Are you ready for an autumn garden stroll and some outdoor decor?
I should warn you there are a LOT of pictures!
I should warn you there are a LOT of pictures!
Asters are blooming in my two favorite colors! These are 'Pink Yomagic' and 'Purple Yomagic'.
This bee didn't even notice I was photographing it.
Ornamental kale adds a splash of fall color with its foliage.
A hydrangea bloom ready to be picked and dried.
This spider screams Halloween to me! He looks a little creepy, don't you think?
Dendranthema 'Cool Igloo' has a gorgeous raspberry color.
One planted in the garden and another in a white urn.
I have several varities of sedum scattered around the gardens.
My Virginia Sweetspire bush is starting to turn.
Its leaves filled with varigated colors - a real beauty.
Northern Sea Oats has unique flat seed heads which are starting to change to a light tan color. The dangling panicles last for three seasons.
Solidago rugosa 'Fireworks' is in full bloom near the pond. The long arching stems hang over the rocks.
Calamagrostis 'Overdam' has sand colored seed heads. You may recognize this plant as variegated Feather Reed Grass. Swaying in the breeze it looks pretty through the window.
Japanese Blood Grass 'Red Baron' has striking red blades and shines when backlit by the sun.
A frog posing for the camera.
Orange dahlias still going strong.
A raven statue nestled in a bed of daylilies.
The gazebo is ready for autumn.
A decorated garden rake I created leans up against the side. I will show you this craft project in another post.
Please come inside and have a seat ...
Metal pumpkin lanterns add a nice evening glow.
Urn planters are filled with 'Rosy Igloo' chrysanthemums.
The patio has a few fall decorations too.
This Jack-o'-lantern planter is too cute to spook!
Thank you for strolling with me today. I'll be showing you more as the leaves start to change. Don't forget I am having a giveaway starting on October 1st.
This week I am joining ...

Donna, your garden must be gorgeous. I love all your pretty flowers and would like to add most of them to my yard. They are all so pretty and colorful. I can not pick a favorite because I love them all. The metal pumpkins are really cute too. Great post and I enjoyed the photos.
Your garden is lovely, Donna, especially your Gazebo. I can tell you put a lot of love and care into it and it shows. xx
Your Autumn garden still has so much color! And the gazebo decorated in its seasonal finery looks like the perfect spot to sit and enjoy nature. I'm not certain I like that spider though.

Your fall garden is so full of color. I love the hydrangeas, the ornamental kale and the dahlias!
wow beautiful flowers, colors and pictures Donna.
greetings karin
Gorgeous photos! So many flowers in different colors.
Look at all your lovely blooms. Everything looks so wonderful. I loved seeing all the photos and the colors of your Asters are stunning! Happy Fall...
Donna,
This is gorgeous. The gazebo looks beautiful. If I put real pumpkins outside the animals would eat them and they would be gone. Again, just beautiful.

I love the purples and the dahlias. That spider looks unreal! I've never seen one that color. Your gazebo look amazing with the leaves, the decorated rake and the pumpkins. Gorgeous! So glad you shared so many photos.
