Mother Nature hasn’t gotten the ‘fall memo’ yet and we have several more weeks of summer weather ahead of us in North Carolina. It will a least a month or more before our Autumn Blaze Maple ‘blazes’ with fall color.
Fall is a great time to plant spring and summer perennials in your garden, as it gives them time to develop a strong root system before the blooming season.

I’ll be in touch by email and get your daylilies to you!
Are you ready to welcome fall or sorry to say goodbye to summer?

Hello Fall, I’m glad you’re here too! Beautiful inspiration Mary! Enjoy your weekend :)
So many awesome fall pictures Mary! It will help me get in the mood to finish my fall decorating and todays temps will be very cool so that should help too. Always feel sad to say good -bye to summer as they are so short in Michigan, never enough beach time, lol, but you can’t deny the beauty of Fall and the fun of bon fires, apple cider and fresh donuts and our wonderful pumpkins. Thank you for the coupon. Happy weekend!
Mary, I’m thrilled to be a winner of your daylily giveaway and looking forward to fall planting. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!
So ready for fall after this hot summer. But not ready for what follows fall! That sunset you captured is amazing as are all your photos. Thanks so much! Have a great weekend.
I am definitely ready for fall to get here!! I love the decorating you did on your boat! The stone wall looks fabulous too. Well, all of it, LOL!! I love the pumpkins and gourds, leaves and sunsets. Beautiful.
Though I am slow to welcome fall thanks to short Maine summers, I do like it’s colors and textures.
Absolutely beautiful and so much of God’s beauty around you
I am so ready for fall! But it just doesn’t last long enough here in Tx. Love your photos, they are the most beautiful. Always look for to your posts!
Thank you Mary! Beautiful pictures of your lovely fall on Lake Norman. Our trees have started turning here in Maine, and I welcome the cool days and nights after the most humid summer on record!!!
Love Fall and thank you very much for the coupon!
We are ready for Fall here in Louisiana…but temps are still in the 90’s! Fall comes, dragging her feet, stays for a week or two and gives way to more ‘summer’ temps…just cannot seem to make up her mind…but we do decorate with gusto down here under the pretense that the temps are reflecting the season:) Fall is wonderful in the deep South…
Beautiful, lots of wonderful ideas for my small front porch. Love Autumn!
Your photos are so inspiring! Is that really your pontoon boat done up so picturesque? So inviting!
Lovin’ the pumpkins Mary, especially the warty ones:@) Yep, bring-on-fall!!!
Love seeing your photos, great inspiration! Love your pumpkin vases. Happy autumn to you!
*swoon*. It all looks sooo wonderful, Mary!! 🧡💚💛❤️🍎🍏🎃
So much inspiration here, Mary. Can’t wait for fall temperatures. At least it is officially fall on the calendar so we are closer to colder temperatures.
I’ve been out of town all week and am working my way down my inbox. Missed Floral Friday but I’ll be catching up soon. Looking forward to reading your post.
Love all the apples.pumpkins and flowers.

Living in Ohio I am ready to welcome fall, just a little hesitant, though, knowing what season follows autumn.

I am so ready to say hello to Fall, Mary, and thank you for your lovely photos to get me in the mood. I’ll bet it is so fun to enjoy your pontoon and see the pretty trees and reflections. Congratulations to Rita and Lisa!

I’m a little sad to say goodbye to summer. But I love fall. I do wish we had cooler fall weather in Texas. Your photos are gorgeous.
