We are having a beautiful fall season here in northern Virginia. We have had cool, crisp mornings. Since we have had very little rain for the last three months, we are in a drought, but that has given us wonderfully dry, sunny days. I was afraid that the drought would cause all the autumn leaves to turn brown before starting to fall, but we have had brilliant color on most of the trees.

| Yuletide Camellias |
There are three Yuletide camellia bushes in the yard and they just started blooming this week. They are about three weeks early.

| Clematis Samaritan Jo |
I don't know what this clematis is doing. It died off in the early fall as it has done for the last three years. But all of a sudden it is growing green leaves again.
 |
| Ornamental Peppers |
Not much blooming in the yard anymore, but the plants in my deck pots are still doing fine.
 |
| Dwarf Zinnias |
These dwarf zinnias are slowly fading. We have only been down to 34 degrees here at night, but we may get a killing frost this upcoming week. Then I'll replace these pots with pansies.
