Witch Hazel, Hydrangea, Fallen Leaves

Back in Connecticut for a week.  It snowed last weekend and is still on the ground in some places.
The coldest Thanksgiving in history in these parts is scheduled for tomorrow.



Witch hazel blooms in the winter, usually in January, but this year we have a fine November display.


Limelight hydrangea undergoes monthly color changes from July through winter.
I like having the brown blooms on the bushes while most other plants have given up.


Maple leaves carpet the ground.  They fell late.  I hope the guys who care for my lawn
can take them away before heavy winter snow storms come and make it impossible.

Autumn is beautiful.

It looks dangerous

Leaves are so beautiful on the trees but then become a problem. I swept up 12 big bags of leaves from our street recently. If you don't get rid of them, they go horribly muddy and slippery when they get wet.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Jack.

Beautiful fall photos! Stay warm!

Wonderful fall shots. I know there were still leaves on the ground here when the snows started really falling and staying. What we've got on the ground now might well stay until spring.

We have only had a dusting of snow here but it is cold and tonight is to be very cold for this time of year! Your colors look perfect for Thanksgiving.
