Autumn has arrived here in Trondheim. With all my travels and all the rain lately I have not had much time for my garden. But today finally, the weather was quite good, and in between housework and watching Ingrid play handball I had some time for the neglected garden.
The temperature was not the best, so we did not eat any meals outside, not even our daily cup of coffee - which was enjoyed downtown in between matches. And there, downtown, at the outdoor market, I bought a few Erikas to fill my favorite blue pot. Our house will be filled with guests tomorrow night, and I am glad I can welcome them with these beautiful colours right outside the front door.
The Japanese Maple have this beautiful, deep, rich, red colour all summer, but I couldn't resist shooting several photos of it today. This tree was here when we bought the house four years ago, and it is my favorite in the garden.
It is predicted rain again tomorrow. I have promised Marta and a friend of her who is sleeping over, that we shall go to the movies to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But I am crossing my fingers that the morning can be a sunny one - I would love some more time out in the garden.
