My banana tree is very tall and the leaves would have covered the whole garden if I were to photograph from the top of the tree down.

It is time to bring it inside and this time I have a couple new young plants.

The Kaffir lime tree needs to come inside also.  This year it has gotten a lot bigger and it’s about time to change it into a bigger pot.

It’s amazing to see that certain vegetables do so well in this cooler weather. These are my Romaine lettuce that I planted several weeks back.

Broccoli

My Brussels sprout plants that I planted back in the spring have grown new leaves.

Cabbages

Green onions

It is also time to harvest all the chili peppers before the first frost.

I think I will miss having fresh Thai basil the most.

I was surprised to see a string bean flower blooming at this time of the year.

I also have to net proof my fish pond from the falling leaves.  I’m actually late in doing it, I should have done this 2 weeks ago.  Time flies and it is the end of October already.

We can’t deny that Autumn is finally here, as for us the weather is getting cooler and the leaves start to change colors. It has been a while since I updated my dad’s garden, it’s nice to wake up and see it in the early morning hour.

And not everything is pretty, but the attraction is definitely there.

This is some hot stuff, no pun intended.

It is time to harvest.

And also time to collect seeds for next year planting season.

The end of a Summer garden, but the beginning of Fall planting season.  My sister planted a variety of Fall vegetables this year.

I do miss seeing the horse farm.  It seems like a long time ago when I saw them roaming beyond that fence, and it is a “once upon a time” story when things are plentiful and all sins were forgiven.

I took these pictures at Biltmore, it’s obvious that they are less than perfect but I really liked them. I don’t normally delete my images until I get home, believe it or not I took this blurry image on purpose. You can still tell that it’s a couple walking their dogs.

This image happened so fast, I didn’t have time to focus but I think I like it because it captures life.

This one is not so bad, I was sharing my dinner with the squirrel.

I was inside the Conservatory while taking this picture, they probably thought I got lost in there… still waiting.

This is part of life, less than perfect.

It didn’t seem that long and this post has made the 1090 posts, and 4 years of blogging. I want to thank you for your visit, especially to all the commenter and silent readers.

In a way we are very much like the pilgrims but came way later so Thanksgiving celebration is a big thing for us. We had our Thanksgiving lunch at Bo’s parents and dinner at my sister, which she made Pho or Vietnamese noodle soup for us.

The remaining of Sunday’s photos. Biltmore Estate is very pretty in the Fall, with the busy schedule I didn’t make it up there for Autumn peak colors. But what little that’s left is still very pretty.
