Nothing new in my garden this week, just the typical fall flowers, like sedum and mums, but there’s plenty of fall colors like the nasturtium and marigolds with their bright orange color. And speaking of color, we took a drive and the Leaves seem to have turned over night into the blazing oranges, reds and yellows of autumn. [...]
For fertilizer friday I have nothing to share since it hasn’t stopped raining long enough to get any photos, I am not one to let a rainy day slip by without enjoying it for a while but I have to say….. too much of a good thing isn’t always a good thing. When we arrived home tonight [...]
Here are some of the beauties still thriving in my garden. Even though I have had trouble keeping them quenched, they are still trying their best to shine. I guess you can’t keep a good garden down. Thank Goodness! I Hope your garden is still bringing you pleasure despite the heat and drought of the [...]
Although it is spitting a bit of rain here and there today and the temperatures are only in the high fifties, the temperatures over the past few weeks have been sweltering and we have had very little rain.

Walking through my garden today, there were plenty of smiling faces wanting their photo taken. I was happy to oblige. I hope your flowers are grinning at you today too. ~ “Then followed that beautiful season… Summer…. Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape Lay [...]
This week has been another hot one. Some of my plants aren’t faring as well as others but there are still plenty churning out the blooms. I had to do a lot of weeding and deadheading this week but it’s all good, as long as I can garden, I am not complaining. Too soon I [...]
After a couple of well needed rainy days, the weather has been wonderful. These past two days, it’s hot but with low humidity so you can actually enjoy being outdoors. I was finally able to catch up on my yard work and see what is going on out there. I have plenty of blooms [...]
