They have the president give a radio address about it (and ensuing comedy as he debates with his staff about the name "leaf peeping"). Now, I always call it that! But I did it before I knew it had a label, who can help themselves?

There is nothing like gathering your whole grown family together for holidays or any day. I am very fortunate that my married son lives just a few blocks away with his wife and new daughter. I am so enjoying them. It is very fun to watch your children become parents. Seems he was paying attention when we were doing the parenting. My other son still lives at home, he's in college in town so I have him around, well actually he's always out with the friends. It would be out of the ordinary if he wasn't, I guess. Thank you for showing your lovely property and beautiful fall photos.Teresahttp://blog.gardenshoesonline.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-57240270096582775652010-11-20T19:03:29.350-05:002010-11-20T19:03:29.350-05:00Beautiful photos!

I'm sure there will be lots to do in your garden, but you will catch up after you have got over the travelling and settled in again.<br />Your photo's are gorgeous and your surrounding countryside is stunning. It was lovely to read about the 10 things that you love to do. The summer tea parties sound so good.

I recorded Danial Radcliffe, the Harry Potter actor, who was on the CBS Early Show for my daughter. He said if any more was written about Harry Potter, he'd have to have a hard think about it. I don't know if I've already told you I like it when I hear English people say they are going to "have" something when they are going to do something. I think it's cute. Do you or your family talk like that?Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-74394868789568071162010-11-19T01:04:19.240-05:002010-11-19T01:04:19.240-05:00I love giving powerpoint presentations to gardener...I love giving powerpoint presentations to gardeners, the only problem being the whole speaking in front of people.

I might just take on your open invitation, since it's the time of year when garden topics are getting scarce. Funny you should mention tea vs. coffee. Since living with an Englishwoman in a shared apartment during college days, I've become a tea addict. I think it's a delightful English custom to have tea for any and all reasons. I bet your tea parties are a delight, too.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16956948481990170675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-52815553720292644432010-11-13T19:36:11.824-05:002010-11-13T19:36:11.824-05:00Dear Pam,

My uncle is a retired home builder in the Poconos and I have spent time there visiting and skiing. <br /><br />No where, even New England where I had some schooling, has prettier leaves in fall. Even, dare I say, Utah, which has some real beautiful mountainscapes and glorious color. I know I am partial, but I think you may make others believe it is true from your gorgeous photos.
