The tree on the left above is my plum tree. I planted it in 2010. I had grown it by potting up pits from plums growing on a neighbor's tree. A few weeks ago, its leaves were a deep purple color. Now they've turned a brighter shade of red. Above right is a snowball bush growing in that same neighbor's yard. It's looking good this year.
There aren't many Queen Anne's lace plants this late in the season, but I noticed a pretty one yesterday afternoon.
Yesterday Tasha and I had an encounter with two border collies when we were out walking. One of them, a female, was friendly and curious to see Tasha. The other one, a male pictured above, was more aggressive. The woman who keeps them came running over to get them back in her yard. Somebody had left her front gate open, she said. This is the same woman whose billy goat attacked Walt after escaping from her yard last winter. She seems like a nice person, but she needs to pay more attention to her animals, I'd say.

The brighter shade of red is lovely. That dog has the strangest colorings! I'm glad there wasn't any violence in the encounter.
ReplyDeleteShe needs to keep a better eye on her gate!
ReplyDeleteI bet it's a surprising and fun thing for Tasha to come across other animals... especially other fluffy dogs.
Such pretty autumn colors you're getting. We're not getting colors this year, for the most part...brown, then off.
Loving all these autumn scenes in and around your home!
ReplyDeleteSplendid autumnal pix. C.
