The cooler weather has me thinking of fall. I took this photo last autumn at the peak of the golds. Hoping this year is as beautiful. And here is the monochrome version.

Today was the type of day that I think of when I think of Autumn. Crisp, cool and clear. Color everywhere contrasting with a sharp blue sky. I tend to block out the gloomy days in between that makes us not spend as much time in the yard because it is getting colder out there. I [...]
*Mouse over photos for names I keep expecting to be out of flowers for Fertilizer Friday, but my garden persists, tempting that first frost to keep it from flourishing. Hopefully there are a couple of weeks left before Jack Frost visits. I hope your day is going well and your flowers are still blooming. [...]
The middle of September is upon us. It is cooler but it’s still nice enough. You can tell that summer weather is just about done, but the flowers are rebounding with the cooler temperatures. We picked the last of our tomatoes. The only things left in our veggie garden are hot peppers… and more hot peppers. (Have I mentioned [...]
