We have a few of these bushes in our yard, and in the Fall they turn into a deep rich red.  These bushes are some of the few that are still holding onto their pretty leaves.  This Fall has actually been rather nice.  The weather is turning colder now, but we had some nice warm stretches and few surprisingly warm days.  A complete 180 from last year, where the spring was cold, the summer was cold, and the Fall was cold…then of course, winter was freezing.  At least this year it felt like we had a summer.

Still not looking forward to the winter weather, though.  It snowed a little on Wednesday.  Brrrrrr….
