Wilted Leaves
We've had several pretty stiff frosts now and though there are still a few very hardy plants blooming most of the plants are a mass of wilted, dying leaves. My neighbor's hostas look like they've had boiling water poured on them. The leaves of the trumpet vine are very limp. There have been no trumpets on it for several weeks now, but the leaves have been looking good until maybe just this morning. However, our trees still have lots of leaves on them. I heard someone say today, "A good hard rain now and they'll all be down." I think he was talking about the leaves. I'm sure they'll come down really soon. It's the season!

This is the first Hallowe'en in recent memory that we haven't had snow and ice on the ground for the kids to contend with. Sadly, out leaves have all been gone for a while now. The autumn colors are so short-lived here, making them all the more special.

Can you believe, we still haven't had a frost here yet? I still have plants out on the front porch. It's pretty late for doing that, too. I keep watching the weather, but we're forecasted for highs in the mid-60's all week. Very strange.
Thanks for visiting me!
