Mother Nature's Fall Decorations

  It is no secret that fall is my favorite time of year.  What is not to like about this season?  My goodness!  Things are nigh on perfect!  The temperatures are dropping, the gnats are fewer, the Little Bayou House can be decorated to the hilt and no one thinks it is crazy and Mother Nature puts on a show like no other!  While everyone else is oohing and ahhing over pumpkin spice everything, I am doing the same about the sights, smells and sounds around the Bayou.  

  One of my favorite things that Mother Nature grants to us is the gorgeous Goldenrod blooms.  These things spring up in the oddest places but I always leave them when I find them.  The golden spikes just ooze the beauty of fall!  Down near the pier, there is one section of the yard that I did not mow for some time now.  This area is filled with the bright yellow blooms.  It is relaxing to see their golden noggins swaying in the gentle Bay breeze.  

  Yep, the marsh never looks so pretty as it does in the fall!  Along with the goldenrod, there are marsh asters, groundsel bush and duck potatoes.  Each are supplying a lovely bit of interest to an otherwise bland bunch of reeds.  The blooms are like little jewels!  Beauty is where you find it.  I find it in the marsh.  Mother Nature has done well with her fall decorations!
