photos taken October 14th 2023 of yellow leaves and pink snapdragons.

This week things definitely feel and look like fall, even though the days have still been pretty warm.  I’ve been neglecting my planter-box flowers, but the snapdragons continue blooming prettily regardless, undaunted.

Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years shows this is definitely the time of year when the echinacea, whose flowers have been turning so scraggly brown, make a fall-foliage comeback with pretty, yellow leaves that offset the brown stems and seed heads so that they’re suddenly striking instead of drab.

Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years really seems like it’s showing a range of seasons, with bright, summery honeysuckle in one corner and icy, wintery snow in the other.

…This week my garden is getting into the crunchy-leaves, Halloween spirit of things.
