Autumn Colors in my Haunted Garden

This was the view of our woods before we got high winds.

Sassafras and a red maple leaf.

Viburnum turns a shade of orange/pink with dark purple berries.

Beautiful oak.

All good Witches must have witch hazel in their yards!

Beautiful hickory!

Sassy Sassafras

If you were a tree what kind of tree would you be?
I'd be a Sassafras. The Sassafras is an aromatic delight to the senses! The leaves, roots and branches have a wonderful and sweet aroma when crushed. The roots were once used as the original source of root beer. The leaves come in three shapes: footballs, mittens and ghosts. Everything about this tree screams Fall! It's a little early for leaves here to be changing but they are!
