Autumn comes to Mansfield, 2011

It looks like autumn has arrived here!  I had the opportunity to get out and enjoy some of the autumn colors, and wanted to share some with you.

This was the "Last Rose of the Summer" in my garden.

It is easy to see why Laura, Manly and Rose wanted to live here!  Well, that goes for me too!

"We have a whole five acres for our backyard and all outdoors for our conservatory, filled not only with beautiful flowers, but with grand old trees as well, with running water and beautiful birds, with sunshine and fresh air and all wild, free, beautiful things."  Laura Ingalls Wilder
