Your view is just terrific! I love the fall colors, your wreath and your dog too. But I think that your garden is beautiful in every season. I remember your gazeebo in snow and some wonderful photos of lily's too. Enjoy the leaves and the colors while they last and remember after the leaves have gone another beautiful season starts.
