Blessed Lavender...

"best among the good plants for hot, sandy soils
are the ever blessed lavender and rosemary,
delicious old garden bushes that one can hardly dissociate."

Take It Outside...

I would love to do this for Thanksgiving. Set a lovely table outside for dinner. But I can already hear two of our guests complaining loudly about being cold.

Dogs and their Child...

Every child should know the love of a dog
and vice versa.

The Fall Flower...

Chrysanthemums are just starting to open,
showing their beautiful colors...
Lovely, lovely shades of Autumn.

Cool days and even cooler nights have arrived...
Autumn is just around the corner...
It's almost sock time.

Adding Autumn...

Thinking I'd like to do a bit of decorating for Fall...a little more than plunking down a pumpkin or two by the front door. Bittersweet, pumpkins and gourds may be just the way to go. A trip to the local cider mill farm is definitely in my future for the weekend.
