My but the weather has been funny this week.
High winds and rain one day, blue skies and sunshine the next.
The plants in the courtyard garden continue to surprise me as I watch and wait to see what it holds.
This climbing rose has been in bloom since early May and continues to bring forth fresh flowers daily, it is a delight and the fragrance divine.
I have no idea what it's name is but I call it Glory.
I love the way it looks when waterlogued.
This sedum was a survivor when I recently cleared out a small bed which had become overgrown and crowded. I'm not sure if I like it but it can stay until Spring.
I added a photo of a bee enjoying a pretty white Cosmos "Pop Socks".
I planted several Cosmos in containers this summer and they have been very popular with the bees and butterflies.
Walking up Back Lane yesterday I noticed that here too nature was bringing changes to the landscape.
Earlier in the year the Hawthorns had been brimming with white blossom, now bright red berries entice the birds, beneath the trees the ferns are slowly turning adding contrast to the ancient dry stone walls that enclose the fields.
Wishing you pleasant Autumn days with plenty of blue skies and sunshine and a calm and peaceful week ahead.

Everything is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe weather is certainly in transition mode although we are having a last blast of summer even though the trees have already started to drop their leaves.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely the late garden is - I think we enjoy it more because we know it's fleeting. I do love drystone walls - there are none here. Have a good week, Maggie.
ReplyDeleteIs it my imagination or are there more hawthorn berries this year. Such a beautiful time of year. B x

...you have captured some beautiful images of fall, take care and enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteI love it when Fall colors come to us in nature! We have all kinds of berries now too and yesterday I was ripe persimmons. Enjoy your day sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how birds pick which berries to eat. My red currant has been loaded since June but I've never seen a bird come to the bush. - Margy
ReplyDeleteLovely mosaics and flowers of autumn :) Your watercolor looks great.
ReplyDeleteOur weather has also been changeable lately temperature wise. We need rain desperately as it has been very dry. It is nice that you still have beautiful flowers to enjoy!
ReplyDeletebeautiful Autumn pictures, and your Glory rose is delightful!
ReplyDeleteAutumn Joy to you too. It is a nice time of year I think. Although I do enjoy all the seasons

Maggie - weather is very changeable in the fall ... I am grateful for every day of sunshine. Soon enough the gray days will arrive here. Have you happened upon any hedgehogs out there among the hawthorns? Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday, my friend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful trees, Maggie. Sedum is one of my fall favorites. It calms down in spring so if you plant something in front of it, you won't see it much till the pretty blooms start!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the Autumn garden tour and the walk through the woods. Fun to re-discover the seasons around your new home! You created a perfect “painting” of the climbing rose!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful climbing rose. Lovely mosaic.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ferns and the stone walls remind me of home.
Enjoy the week...
Lovely to take a wander with your through your autumn landscape!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend
