Harbinger of Fall


Sedum 'Autumn Joy' turns pink in the fall and will darken in the coming months. It's a common plant around here and nice to see at this time of year.

One of my sisters lives in Miami, my 'travelling' sister, I will sometimes post her photos of exotic destinations she has visited.  They lost power during the storm but survived.  They have electricity from a generator but no cell or wifi.  The back fence of their house is gone, but the front fence is fine.  Apparently many trees in south Miami are down and the roads were blocked yesterday.  I hope the power can be restored soon.

We lost power due to strong winds, but only for about 3 to 4 hours last night

The Autumn Joy is beautiful! I hope your sister's life gets back to normal soon, that must have been scary.

I spent 3 days in Miami in 2013, and enjoyed it very much.
