imagecourtesynotesondesign.tumblr A quick walk through the aisles at the big-box's nursery would have anyone believing that summer has ended, and fall has begun; row upon row of 'juiced' mums, somber ornamental cabbages, as well as endless flats of perky, playful pansies.  I refuse to participate in this ruse; for outside it's 91 and not a rain cloud in sight . . .

imagecourtesygiftsoflife.tumblr Today's cool temperature will make watering so much more pleasant.  And all the effort of the past months are now evident.  Swaths of sedums, dahlias, black-eye susans, and pineapple-sage have stepped into the lime-light, supported by a cast comprised of coleus, azaleas, and countless ferns.  I must resist the urge to gloat . . .
