November 1 Already

Where did this year go?  I am putting my garden to bed already.  Here are some pics from the last two weeks of fall activity.

A late blooming groundcover sedum:

Oakleaf hydrangea starting to turn:
Berries on a burning bush:
The view of trees from the front door:

We've had two morning frosts and many of the perennials have turned yellow.  I'll be busy cleaning them up today as the temps hit the 70's.  My yard is so wet during the winter that if I leave the dead leaves on the flowers I have an unbelievable mess in the spring.  Of course, no one told this rose bush that summer is over:


Twitter Update:  So, I posted this and went to Twitter and there it was.  So October 31 is not really October 31?  Who knows.  I'll keep checking.
