Autumn in Michigan

Autumn typically comes late in Grosse Pointe -- the result of our location very near the warmth of Lake St Clair (in my case, it's only a half-block away).  It's SO pretty at this time of year -- and I must say, I greatly appreciate weather in the 70s instead of the 80s and 90s.  I am NOT a tropical plant.  Here is what's happening in my gardens!!!  Purpley bushy stuff!  The last of the hostas!  Enjoy the season!
