Savoring a Sunny Saturday

We're slowly adding mulched leaves and grass to this area around the tree.  We put newspaper under them to kill the grass.  The plan is to turn it all over next spring and begin a new bed and seating area from which to view...
Maybe the next to the last tomato of the season!
our little vegetable garden intermingled with...
 roses, grasses, hosta, sedum, and
 mums.
Some ground cover (still blooming) continues to spread, while
 the maple in front holds its colors a little while longer.
And all day - sunshine!

  6. Rebecca, that maple tree is just gorgeous!
    Bet that red mater tastes positively wonderful... oh how I wish they lasted all year long.

    The sitting area is awesome. Those adirondack chairs look so inviting and it looks like you've worked really hard to mulch up that ground.
    The joys of gardening!!!

  8. It looks so pretty there, similar to how our weather has been. I love sunny fall days. Your new seating area will be a nice shady spot to enjoy your garden from.
