More Illinois autumn...........

I was looking out the window as I sat at my computer and wondered what these yellow leaves were.  I went out to investigate and they are on my forsythia bush.  I don't think I have ever seen them with such bright red veins before.

 Here is another group of them deep inside the bush.  

The Viburnum is the next bush along the way and it had just a few leaves turning red.

I'll have to keep checking them to see if they turn darker red.

I'm not sure what this one is.  The petals are pale lavender and very skinny.  It is past its peak of prettiness.  I don't remember it ever being in the back garden before.  The leaves don't look like Asters but the flowers have that same delicate look.

This is a bloom on one of the green leaf Coral Bells.  I don't have the old fashioned green leaf/coral flower Coral Bells any more.  I think I'll look for them next year.

I decided the tall stack of Kaffe Fassett fabric wasn't going to put itself away so I spent a few hours on it.  While I was at it if I had 2 pieces of one of the fabrics I saved out the smaller one and I realized most of them were falling into the fall range of colors.  I just might have to make something out of them.
