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.

I've never seen forsythia turn that color either; we are mostly in the realm of yellows for tree colors here in our forest surround...
Pretty KF fabrics--there is definitely an Autumnal feel to them
I often have trouble figuring out what pattern to use to showcase pretty fabrics...looking forward to seeing your new project.

I love fall colors and those fabrics would make a beautiful quilt!
Making something out of those Autumn extras sounds like a great idea, Wanda. The fabrics are SEW pretty!!
That fabric pile DOES seem to be speaking!
A few years ago, the fabrics in that last photo would have paralyzed me. Not any more! I'd be cutting them up to make his Rouge design with pops of the other vibrant colors mixed in as inner borders, etc. Glorious.
Such a lovely early fall day today!
We have had a drought from the end of August to now. The foliage is turning some weird colors here. My hydrangea leaves are getting red purple. Love the fabric colors.
I love looking at all of your garden pictures. I think that the small white/blue flowers are wood aster. We have several varieties here in my yard in CT. They look a bit weedy throughout the summer, but provide some nice color in the fall.
