Fall arrives when the Sassafras trees in our yard turn color. These photos were taken this morning from our bedroom window. They are even more striking when the sun is out, but I like the deeper contrast in the early morning light. We’ll be raking leaves in a couple of weeks!
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.
