This is what we see when we look at our living room window.

The stained glass was removed from an old house in Nova Scotia by Allan's father MANY years ago, then saved again by his sister Edna in the 1970's. She had it framed and it's been in our house since she died in 1983.

The Japanese dogwood and maples are all turning red.

Looking the other way, the small maple that is still green will also be red soon.

The last roses of summer! They will spend the winter in this flower globe on our dining room table.

Another Zygo cactus is blooming. This one has more pink than the earlier white one.

Remember that small green Japanese maple three pictures up? Just one week later it's turning red.

The bronze maple in the back yard is starting to turn red too.

The leaves are darker red in real life than they appear in pictures.

Four days ago all the leaves were removed from the back lawn - then we had two more windy days. There are still more to come down.

The big flowering cherry at the front of the house has turned yellow and is dropping leaves too.

(05:11:2023)

The Ghost Maple has turned yellow in the past few days.
