new england color . . .
by mulberryshoots
It is a grey, rainy day here in New England. You might think it would be gloomy and dark but nothing could be further from the truth!
We happen to have sassafras trees in our yard that have the most beautiful leaves that turn brilliant yellow in the Autumn.
In addition to that, we plant climbing vines of morning glories every year (almost missed it this year due to our broken ankle and back injury,) that present beautiful sky blue flowers which are especially heartwarming on days like this. Here are some photos to enjoy along with us.

Beautiful! Fall in New England is so lovely – thank you for sharing!
Thanks, Beth! even on a rain-all-day like today was! Even makes the yellow trees more brilliant by contrast!
Spectacular tree! So wonderful to have it right outside your window. Enjoy the beautiful fall colors!
Thanks! We have THREE of these wondrous sassafras trees that turn this color in the fall each year! They have the most graceful shaped leaves as well. They have it all over sugar maples in my book.
