Fantastic pics, looks like a really wonderful area. Have you ever put up any hummingbird feeders?

Wonderful pictures!

Whoa, Jean! I'm with you on the "late unpleasantness" sign. Not much one can say if they are serious ...

Lovely photos, Jean, including all the fall color in your own garden. I've been to a local park with a prairie area and a nearby forest preserve recently to walk our dog, and I've been surprised to see how much I enjoy the look of wildflowers and natives in the winter. The seedpods and drying foliage have their own kind of beauty.

Looks like you have been busy! You're going to have plenty of winter blooms as well.

Thanks to you all for the compliments and I do hop...

Thanks to you all for the compliments and I do hope I make it back there!

Monica - I totally agree about sea oats being underutilized. They can be a bit weedy but sometimes that's a good thing!

Rambleonrose - the viburnum is supposed to be okay for zones 6 through 9. They look pretty tough to me and they get purplish leaves in fall.

Anonymous - yes, I believe it's a Shumard oak as well but the guy who delivered it didn't have a tag (although that's what I asked for, you never know!).

I believe your oak is a Shumard. I have 2 in my yard and they are gorgeous.

There's still a lot to see at this time of year, and it can be nice to stay home and be a tourist in one's own area (that's what we did too). I love those little clay birds and have one myself but would like a whole shelf like yours.

Wow, fall still seems in full swing for you! Love ...

Wow, fall still seems in full swing for you! Love the sea oats--an under-utilized plant IMHO. And I agree, travel is good and home is good!

I love that little viburnum! Would it grow up north? That portable greenhouse looks very handy, too. I need to look in to one of those...

Your photos are so gorgeous, especially the shot of the peeling bark. I love wild areas, I hope you go back in spring & take lots of photos to post.

Lovely post! I love the river birch and sea oats especially... I hope you go back in the spring ... it would be great to see all the promising blooms. Glad you had a good Thanksgiving. Carol
