Rain - finally!!! A long, full, dripping, splashing glorious rain. All the parched gardens are drinking it up... We are going into autumn even as it continues to feel like summer. Fall colors will be coming soon... start thinking about cleaning up for winter, getting tools put away and planting anything you have left in pots!

daylilies are blooming

I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. 
So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air.
Nathaniel Hawthorne

hybiscus in the glorious rain!

new stain-glass impatiens

By all these lovely tokens
September days are here
With summer's best of weather
And autumn's best of cheer.

Nature is, above all, profligate. Don't believe them when they tell you how economical and thrifty nature is, whose leaves return to the soil.  Wouldn't it be cheaper to leave them on the tree in the first place? Annie Dillard
