I got back from a trip to Alabama last week and found that the colors were in full swing (unlike Alabama, where the temperatures were lovely with the exception of some mugginess but alas, no color at all).  Japanese Maples are the first thing I think of when autumn comes to mind.

  4. Congratulations on the article, Phillip! I like the vegetable garden with the rosemary and brick edging around the corn... guess those are chives flowering? It looks like a good place to spend time.

  5. Thanks Wayne!
