Falling One by One!

Had a huge frost last night. Went outside this morning to the sights and sound of leaves falling swiftly from the trees! There will be a lot of raking today in the neighborhood.

FALLING ONE BY ONE

by Janet F. Smart

I saw the leaves this morning

Falling one by one.

Will all the trees be naked

When the day is done?

I see the carpet building

There upon the ground.

It makes a whirling playground

And a crunching sound.

Frosty, Foggy Morning

Fog

The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

Fog rising from the pond and creek this morning.

We woke up this morning to fog,
and unfortunately,
frost on roof tops
and ice on windshields.

I just walked around and checked everything out and we were lucky, nothing got bit by the cold.
We have little clusters of grapes, small blueberries and blooms, the blackberries are just starting to bloom and we have tiny apples.
It is supposed to be cold again tonight, so I'm crossing my fingers that everything can withstand another cold night.

Here is my latest iris to bloom. . .

This is the only iris I bought at the store. The package said it was yellow, which is my favorite color, but this is not what I consider yellow. It took a while for this color to grow on me, so to speak. But I now like this brownish yellow iris.

Do any of you know what color iris this is supposed to be?
