So, did you notice my cool new blog design? I was lucky enough to win a giveaway over at The Shabbee Chick’s blog, I now have my very own blog makeover. Amber did a great job and was very patient with all my little changes and I just love the new look! Head on over for your own blog makeover, if you’re looking for a sassy new style.
We’ve got some beautiful fall color going on right now that I had to share with you. These 3 pics are all in my neighborhood showing our beautiful and colorful hills.
It doesn’t totally capture the majesty, but you get the idea. I know many of you have probably already lost your leaves, but we are still in full fall color mode around here and our hills look like a painted canvas.
This lily pond was so tranquil.
And this dragonfly was posing so sweetly for me.
A lovely arbor.
Lush ferns and groundcovers in the shady areas. I can always get so much inspiration from coming here.
A quiet and peaceful pond is tucked away.
Lantern hanging on a stone post.
Sweet little cherub.
All the summer plants are still looking so pretty.
Impatiens and sweet potato vine.
A pretty fountain with water trickling down.
And another pretty fountain.

I was in B’ham Monday and Tuesday. It was beautiful! Even the drive up wa colorful. We drove out 280 going away from the Summit looking for another connector to 65…got a little lost, but found the most delightful little winding road full of such beauty. Got back on 280…finally, and went over to 65 on 119, I think. Anyway, that was also a beautiful drive. Gorgeous houses.
Love the new blog look…very classy!

The first thing I noticed was the new design, and I loved it. Of course, I always love what you do with your blog, but this has a cute, fresh look. AND I love all of your botanical shots. I particularly loved the dragon fly on the lily pad. A fun post for your new look.
XO,
