There is a little bit of summer color left, but the dry humid season has depleted the life out of most flowering plants, shrubs and trees. My petunias have a few blooms left.......
and, on our walk, I found a few flowers on a Rose of Sharon shrub..........
lastly, around the post of a mailbox, I found a couple Morning Glories.
The landscape in my neighborhood is clearly calling for cooler temperatures and rain.
I found my scarecrow in the garage, but I think I might be pushing the season if I get him out right now.
After our walk, I decided my inpatients had lived their lifetime expectancy and pulled them out of the ground. In a few weeks, I'll put a pretty potted mum by Rachael along with a pumpkin or two. I also decided that some of my iris bulbs were growing too close together, so I separated a few and planted them in another location. They probably won't bloom next spring, but you never know...
Joy for today is in a beautiful morning walk and a little gardening to boot.
