It’s the fifteenth again! September has quickly arrived and is half over already. My gardens are definitely looking less full but there are still plenty of blooms around. 
Some of the flowers are giving their last hurrah as if they know this is it and they are finding the strength to be seen and remembered over the long long winter. 
Summer may be ending, but a gardener’s spirit can not be subdued. I have been preparing for next year, by moving a few things to better locations and getting plants from friends who are dividing theirs.



I hope each of you enjoy your last few days of summer and the official beginning of Autumn.

Wow, you take some really amazing photos! I especially love the one where you caught the bee in the middle of its work.

I love the colors you have today, it doesn’t seem like your garden is less full with all you still have blooming. It is fun this time of year starting to move things around and getting ready for next year already.

It might be the middle of September, but your garden is still looking like a rainbow of color.
