| We've gotten a lot of rain & wind lately so the autumn leaves are falling fast and it's getting quite cold at night. I am quite sure these are going to be the last blooms that are going to look presentable. Once they get frozen they look ratty. I still am surprised that I have roses this late. It's highly unusual for zone 4!
Some photos were taken last week and some are from today. There is still a lot of beauty out there and I wanted to share it with you all before it's just a memory. Celeste Buttered Popcorn, no end in sight

| My goodness Celeste, Lil Conner is getting so big and such a little cutie!! I know you enjoy getting him to yourself when you can. Your shots are so gorgeous. We are expecting colder temps this week and I so dread it. Judy |

| Yay! I was hoping for more pics! I love the color contrast on the Brothers Grimm rose, and the Clara Curtis daisies especially. Maybe a dumb question, but do they overwinter pretty well, then? Beautiful scenery!! I love the mountains and peeking horse :) |

| Your new daylily in your new daylily bed looks great, nice and green. Buttered Popcorn of course look marvelous! Love the roses and the covered bridge. Grandson is a cutie! |

| The fall photos are gorgeous, Celeste. Barns are my thing, so the phot with the barn is especially appealing. And you know I love the roses! Brother's Grimm Fairy Tale is really a pretty one, as is Caramella...in fact, they are all lovely! I hate to see it end. Your photos are always beautiful. kay |

| Great scenery photos and the roses..... well what can I say but gorgeous. Thanks for sharing. Julia |
|
| Buttered Popcorn is such a workhorse. Mine is having two or three blooms every day this week. I bet you really enjoyed your day with Connor. Such a gorgeous fall in your area. Our trees don't seem to be coloring up much this fall. Even the maples aren't colorful this year. My burning bushes are turning a nice red though. |

| Your pictures are absolutely stunning as always. Your roses are beautiful and they look so perfect. I've given up on roses because of all the spraying they need, but I do love seeing them. I'm wondering if my mum could be Clara Curtis. Mine seems more peach than pink, but the flower is similar. Your grandson is sure a cutie and I see he's helping you with the leaves! Val |

| Stopping in to say 'THANKS' to you all for commenting. Judy, I don't know where the time went but Connor is 17 months old already. He is such a joy. He looks just like his daddy did when he was that age, and is just as sweet. CTC...those Clara Curtis mums are ridiculously cold-hardy...in fact, they bloom only in October here. They LOVE the cold. And the Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale rose was developed in Germany by Kordes and I have had great luck Rita & Nancy...glad you liked the covered bridge photo. Jean, I know you enjoy the scenery pictures so I always have you in mind when I post them. That is a LAKE in the photo. It is the largest lake in N.H....Lake Winnipesaukee. Where I am, there are lakes everywhere and the water is crystal clean in all of them. Kay, you have a good eye, to catch that barn so far in the distance! I like barns too, and since I pass that horse farm every day on my walk I decided it made for a good photo op. Thank you JULIA! Kind comments are always welcome. Debra, one of the smartest things I've done this year is snatch up those 2 Buttered Popcorns. They opened 4 blooms today in the pouring rain. I have to thank you again for enabling me! Val, I'll bet yours is Clara Curtis. My soil has a tendency to bring out the lavender and purples in flowers, but other places I have seen it growing it was a peachy pink. Could just be a difference in soils. Celeste |

| Thank you CELESTE,I really do injoy the photos of the scenery. that mount washington must be preetty high if it had snow in July and august.years ago, we went to colorado, and went up on PIKE's PEAKa mountain thats 14,110 feet high. ad went in august and they had closed the road that gos up it because of a Blizzard and they had just opened it before we got there,and i thought thats nuts, snow in august? but before we got to the top and back down on level ground,I was wishing they had kept it closed.its was very narrow road,and full of snow, and ice.when we got to the top. my hubby was so scared he wanted to hurry up and get back down,and my children had never seen snow before, so I got out and let the kids out and made them each a snowball,and they were thrilled to see snow for the first time, I let them get ine the car with their snowballs. and they kept putting it from hand to hand as their hands was about frozen.and it was much more scarey coming down off that mountain and never again, did I want to drive up on a mountain.

| JEAN, haha....I know exactly how you felt! I was born in south Georgia and we moved here when I was a teenager...I was used to FLATland and had no experience with mountains. My first trip up Mount Washington my brother was driving (and had just gotten his license) and the road up was so windy and there were no guard rails. I was screaming in the back seat that we were going to die and had to lay down on the floor of the car so I wouldn't see anything. I thought I was going to pass out. It was snowing at the top and that part I thought was cool since I had never made a snowball either. But then, we had to come DOWN the mountain and that was even scarier. My brother pretended that we lost our brakes and thought it hilarious. I have gone back up a couple times since but not with my brother...LOL. I am used to mountains now and I do a lot of mountain hiking, but I will never forget how scared I was that time. Celeste |
