The asters are in full bloom...

The hydrangea blooms have turned their pink and green color, so they have been cut to be dried, and sprayed for flower arrangements.. I will show those in another post..

A trip to the North Fork..many farm stands for fruit and vegetables, corn mazes for the kids, and mums..

Grab a wagon and fill it with pretty mums...4 big pots fro 10.99..a bargain in this area..

Some peaches or apples for a pie..or some fresh corn for dinner??

Some peach pie for you??? It's the first time I made peach pie, I have to tweak the recipe..

  2. It's still pretty green here, but today seemed like the first day of fall after quite a few days of over 100 degrees. I can't wait to see the leaves start to change. Your yard is so pretty. Once you tweak that peach pie recipe be sure to post it, love peach pie!

    Please stop by soon, take care.

  5. Those hydrangeas are gorgeous! as are the mums...What a good price, too!
    I love peach pie...must be from all those years in college in GA. :-)
    But there is nothing better than peach preserves...especially on a warm croissant. (My TX friend's treat)

    Thanks for stopping by...

  6. It's not very fallish here yet, either, K. Cool in the mornings and evenings but still hot up in the day.
    Your lawn and gardens look great. You have a beautiful home. I would kill to raise hydrangeas but it's just not the right climate around here.
    See you at TT....bet you have a beauty all ready. :O) and I know I am going to have a heart attack when I see it because I am pretty dang sure it is going to be .......
    black and white !!! and you've been working, night and day, to get that table looking like a million black and white dollars !!...bwaaaaaa

    p.s. I feel super and last time I was at GW - I said to myself "Kathleen is going to badger me about white napkins - must look for white napkins"....and..and....and.... I found some - got to see how they will wash up - and I paid full price of $2.99 (must be all that pressure.......)

  9. Kathleen, Your yard is so pretty and I wish I had hydrangeas... They are gorgeous and probably my favorite flower. Now if my brown thumb could only turn a shade of green.....
    Fall is here in Ohio, that is for sure. In the forties last nite! crisp clear weather, finally... I love it.
    hugs, Sue

  10. Kathleen your yard is still so very gorgeous. I love the pinks in your hydrangeas and remember when you sprayed them gold for an anniversary party.

    The peak at the farm stands is so fun - nothing like that in our rural area. The price on those mums is a bargain - I just looked at some in our area last weekend and they were $15.99 for one basket!

  13. Your garden beds are just brimming with color still. Our area is very green to but I do live close to a rain forest area. I do love the fall though.

  17. I don't know where you live, but I sure do like the idea of 4 pots for 10.99. I love to look at you tables and your pie look great to me.

  20. I love your new fall look! Your yard still looks like summer, though, and oh, so pretty. That is a great price for mums! I've never seen them that low here.

    I've really been enjoying peaches lately and your pie looks wonderful. What needs tweaking?

  21. Beautiful post, Kathleen.

    I'm going around trying to catch up. Birthday celebrating was fun. No mishaps!!

  22. Lovely new blog decor, Kathleen ... Although I don't want to "hear" that there are only 86 days until Christmas. :)

    It's still very green here, too. And we still having to mow the grass weekly.

    Great price on the large mums.... I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with your mums. And I'm surprised that you had never made a peach pie before. I bet it was yummy.
