The pumpkins are playing peek-a-boo among the fading foliage that has protected and nourished them all summer. Time to show their bright orange faces!
The Dakota Prairie Hyacinth have lost their lustre. The second half of this summer has been tough on my plants. Water from the hose just doesn’t have the magic growing power that rain from heaven has. Time for this baby to go to sleep and give up its seeds
to hibernate in an envelope and be ready for next spring.
The heat and drought has also taken its toll on our lawn. What lawn, you say?!
These brilliant fuschia petunias managed to proliferate despite the harsh conditions. Part of the harshness, I have to admit, comes from lack of care this past month. I lost motivation for some reason and the weeds won. It happens.
And so, my dear, devoted readers we are slipping into fall. I can see it in the tips of the trees and feel it on the cooling evening breeze. The simple summer didn’t turn out so perfectly simple after all, but I have learned an important lesson this season:
REAL PERFECTION IS IN THE IMPERFECTION OF ALL THINGS, PEOPLE AND CIRCUMSTANCES.
