Well, the weekend here in the mid-Atlantic is all about preparing for Hurricane Sandy aka Frankenstorm. The schools - and even my older son's college - have already cancelled classes for Monday, and our phone has been ringing constantly, with messages from the power company, the high school, the college, etc. warning us about the size and severity of this storm. I'm sure we will be fine here where we are - not too close to the coast and on high ground - but this one sounds like it will be a rough one.
Our neighborhood and back yard have finally been transformed by gorgeous fall colors...and I realized this morning, that all those beautiful leaves will be on the ground by Monday! So, I will enjoy it while I can...and hope that the storm is fully past by Halloween!

| A rainbow of fall colors in our backyard - need to enjoy it while it lasts! |
I love your backyard! It will be sad to see the leaves ripped from the branches by the storm. Hope it's not too bad for you.

Yes the hurricane warning. But I can see your fall has been beautiful from your photo. We've had snow already. But good to see birds are still striving.
ReplyDeletegood luck with the storm this weekend. I am in NYC and don't feel prepared enough - I think I need to start taking this more seriously.
ReplyDeleteSometimes bare trees have their own kind of beauty. Enjoy the leaves while you can.
ReplyDeleteI am in the mid Atlantic too so I know how you feel. Hopefully, the storm has been overblown by the media, but stay safe!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice when you can enjoy the beauty of fall without leaving your own yard. What a great picture!
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful view and great colors. I'm jealous of all your lovely trees. We've lost so many mature trees in my area from storms and disease the past several years.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo of your view! It is so sad that the storm is going to take what is left of autumn color with it! Enjoy today and good luck tomorrow. We'll be seeing it shortly after it leaves you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Lovely variety of shades.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the upcoming storm!
I hope that you stay safe and warm through the storm!
ReplyDeleteBe safe! We are further up the coast in New England and have been warned of high winds ... in comes the lawn furniture, pots, windchimes, birdfeeders, etc ... dry wood stacked in case we lose power and need to heat and cook with the woodstoves, spare water jugs and tubs full for flushing etc ... the prep is like we would do for a major winter blizzard! Hope you weather this storm okay!
ReplyDeleteI hope your town and your family are not in real danger from the storm.
ReplyDeleteThe fall colors in your backyard are beautiful.
We've heard about Hurricane Sandy in Australia too - hope you're all safe and sound xo
ReplyDeleteI meant 'thriving' not 'striving' in my comment above. :) And, thanks for visiting Ripple Effects.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Especially if you don't have to rake it all yourself! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty Sue
