It's coming!!!

Hey everyone! Just look at the colors I found in the garden yesterday, I think Mother Nature's telling us...
Ready or not, Fall is coming!

It's darker earlier and cooler in the mornings...
Looking forward to pumpkins, comfort food and apple pie.

I'm excited, hope you are too... 
Have a happy day:@)

    Your photos are lovely, but I do not yet hear the siren call of fall. Summer came late to us in the PNW and I want to hold onto it for as long as I can. I hope you have a great weekend. Blessings...Mary

    Hi Lynn, I am an autumn girl through and through, love the colors, my home is autumn all year practically, it is tough decorating for Easter! But I refuse to start pulling out fall decos yet, no sirree, I am clinging to capri's and flipflops and every last bit of summer. After Labor Day I will look forward to autumn, but not what comes after-ugh, xo

    We're going to the beach in a couple of weeks, but I'm still thinking Fall. Your zinnias are beautiful. Great colors. As soon as I get back from the beach I'm going to be in full Fall mode.
    Have a great weekend.

    I am happily anticipating the arrival of Fall!!! It is my fav season and then Winter...it has been getting dark earlier and the sun has changed its slant, love those shadows. We had drought and extreme heat this summer and my flower beds are fried!!! My last hope are the toadlilies and monkshood.....hugs...cleo

    I've noticed a haze in the sky that always seems to signal that summer is waning...but I am hanging on a little longer. Of course, we were really lucky with our weather here in the Upper Midwest, so I can't complain. I look forward to decorating for fall, though!

    Yep, I'm ready! There is something about the end of August, the cool mornings and the sounds of the school bus that makes me want Fall to arrive soon.

    I'm looking forward to the cooler days, that's for sure.

    Thanks for sharing your lovely flower photos.

    How PRETTY! Beautiful zinnias...I hope I can remember to plant some next year.

    Wish I had some daffs to exchange with you, as yours are gorgeous!

    I can tell Fall is coming. There is a coolness to the morning air & I've had to adjust the timer on our living room light to come on earlier, as it getting dark sooner. I ADORE AUTUMN!! Bring it on!!!

    Sooooo, who are we cooking with next month?????

    Although Fall is my favorite time of the year, considering our business, finacially, the longer the summer the better for us.

    Hi Lynn,

    I love your Zinnias and Marigolds!! Those are definitely perfect fall colors. My husband and I both LOVE fall, so we always look forward to it. But this year, I have mixed feelings. This summer went so quickly; and it seems to me that lately, Spring and Fall have been way too short and Summer and Winter just a bit too long. I am definitely looking forward to crisp weather and homemade apple pie :-)

    Thanks for visiting my blog and taking time to leave a comment. Have a great week!

    The colors of your flowers are beautiful and perfectly represent the coming of fall.
    To be honest, I'm not ready for fall to arrive. We have had a very cool summer here in Southern California and our warmest month is usually September. I am hoping that the rest of the country cools down after the scorching summer you have all had but I am looking forward to summer continuing for another month or so in this area.
