Color Week: Burnt Sienna


the top half of the chimenea we bought at the coast last year, the bottom half of which literally went up in flames



thyme and rosemary--the only herbs I have ever successfully grown in our backyard; this is three years worth of growth you're looking at!



our japanese maple just beginning to change colors as the weather cools down

  1. Oh I so love Japanese maple trees, they are so vibrant but delicate. Your photo is such a good flash of fall, well done! Not many fall colours at the moment here where we live so am having to be creative with this week of colours.

  2. I have managed to kill rosemary :) Parsley and mint seem to be my limit. That maple looks beautiful.

  4. I have struggled to grow herbs too!! I used to have a window box, I watered it lovingly and there were green things growing in it...I was most proud till a green fingered friend came over took one look at my window box and roared with laughter!! No herbs had survived but the weeds were sprouting beautifully!!

  6. I have that EXACT chimenea. Did you get it in Newport? I wanted the owl one but they were out...the fish is quite charming though. Sorry about his lower half! :(
