Fall Is Hanging In A bit Longer

The petunia blooms have packed it in it in but the healthy foliage remains.


The geraniums under the window have produced brilliantly all summer and this is their last hurrah.


I share this patch of lawn with my next-door neighbors who planted the Maple tree when they moved in and they love it. Me, not so much. Strange because I love trees.
It does its best with fall colors but comes last compared to its peers. it's like that one bit of a fireworks display that starts off well and then weakly fizzles out.




I'd love to get consensus to remove all the lawn and plant tall grasses interspersed with mounds of stones.

I'm pretty sure the tree would remain.
