Glorious October days


Our weather has been just lovely this week.  Cooling down and getting downright chilly at night, but then the days have been warm and sunny.  And the foliage is becoming more colorful by the day.  Here are a few recent pictures.
Peaceful old cemetery
Another view of the cemetery
"Field and forest, vale and mountain"
Red and orange
Love this orangey tree behind the old picket fence
Some oak leaves do turn red and orange.
This was right near the red oak leaves and I liked the jumble of leaves and the pinecone as seen against the gray tree bark.
These pretty trees are near an intersection close to my home.  I stopped the car on the quiet road and snapped this from inside the car.
And this spray of red leaves is in my front yard. 
Hope you've enjoyed these glimpses of glorious October.

    1. Thanks, Sandy! I think the fall colors aren't quite as vibrant as usual here, but they are still very pretty.

  2. I have! Red oaks. I did not know. Alas, I am surrounded by other varieties. I always loved the children’s poem “Autumn Fires” and was charmed by the sweet illustrations. I have the same book somewhere.

    1. Yes, I've always loved that poem too, and my girls did, especially as it is illustrated in that particular Little Golden Book. Eloise Wilkin was such an incredible artist.

      Glad you enjoyed the photo tour. You've found some nice color too and I've enjoyed seeing it on Instagram.

    1. Me too, Marilyn! And it's nice we are getting some fall color at last. It's still not up to its usual standard here, but pretty anyway. This afternoon we took a drive on some old back roads and saw some lovely foliage and wonderful old farms.

  5. What beautiful Fall photos, Mrs. T.! You're so lucky to live in such a gorgeous area.
    Thank you for visiting my blog and commenting on my Cissy! We do have fun together. Thank you, also, for the congratulatory wishes on my new granddaughter.

    1. We are indeed so blessed to live in New Hampshire, Kitty! I've visited numerous other places, but we like this New England area the best.

      I do enjoy your blog, Kitty. It's always fun to read about what you are up to in the kitchen. That sweet Cissy and her obvious enjoyment of baking with you makes me nostalgic for the days when I and my granddaughters (now 14 and 16 and busy with other things) used to spend hours in the kitchen together!

  6. Mrs T, I did see Priscilla's cow finish. I am copying her just a bit. I ran by Hobby Lobby this morning to pick up some fabric. Love those beautiful colors up your way. I wish we could take a walk together and enjoy the scenery.
