Despite the lack of deciduous trees around here, we have our own type of color change that takes place at this time of year. For the most part things are a little darker... the sun rises later and sets earlier... the clouds roll in heavier each day... rain sheets down making my house feel like a cocoon.
I tried to make the most of today's sun by dyeing another round of fabric.
Always it's red... my true color love... this time in response to those tomatoes I canned last week...
And cold ocean blue... cloudy day grey... beet salad purple... pumpkin orange... these colors reminding me of darker days and quieter moments to come.
The garden is a mess, but that's alright. There is still beauty out here, a rouge zinnia standing bright and proud...
the last of those carrots...
... and this, one of ten pumpkins, turning orange just in time! It's such a thrill to see out here!
Soon you will be inside little guy, joining your brother, adding to the decor, making us happy...
I hope you too are noticing the change in colors that this time of year brings! And if you live in a place where they have those splendid deciduous trees, look a little longer, just for me. Will you please?

My backyard is woods and I have been so busy I haven't even notice the changes taking place. Tonight I will pause, look at the colors, and reflect on the changing seasons for the both of us. Thanks for the reminder! The pumpkin is great!
