"Fall"-ing Into Paula's Garden

I love this lady in Paula's yard.

Happy Fall!

I got in a visit to Paula's garden over the weekend and thought it would be the perfect blog post for this first day of fall. She is a superb gardener. She paints her world with beautiful flowers and textures for every season. Here's a glimpse:









She also grows mountains of vegetables, including these funny looking Mad Hatter peppers and a rainbow of tomatoes (shown here with curry powder).


She roasted the tomatoes and turned them into a tasty galette. Here she is in action, shaping a golden turmeric crust. She's also a fabulous cook.


It came out of the oven bursting with tomatoes, carmelized onions and cheese. Yum!


After lunch, we went for a lazy turn around the lake in their boat with hubby Duane at the helm. Paula's son, Nathan, kicked back while his son, Teddy, sprang into action.


I'm always relaxed and happy on their boat, except for once when the wind whipped off my brand new orange prescription sunglasses and they disappeared forever into the depths of the lake.



Back home, my fall decor
focuses on the bunnies.


Have a colorful day

Wow what a fascinating garden, full of wonderful color and texture! And a cook too... Paula sounds like a very talented lady! Yes, Autumn is definitely here. Cooler temps, rain here and shorter days. I'm looking forward to the autumn leaves that are coming... lots of color!
