Fall arrived last Friday. It's only three months until Boxing Day. Where has our summer gone? I have been doing lots of sewing, but have only some scrap blocks to show for it. Nothing I can share at this time though.
I thought you might like to see a bit of my garden. Just a bit, because almost everything has finished blooming. There are still several Geraniums (Pelargonium) in full bloom. I love the colours on this one. I might try to take a few cuttings or move the whole plant inside for the winter.
And here are some Ipomoea. The first one is a sweet potato vine. And the second one is a morning glory. The morning glories volunteered themselves.
This wonderfully large bloom is a Rose Mallow. I bought this plant at a variety store just a few months ago. It is supposed to be a perennial. I've never had one of these before. I'm hoping that it will come back next year.
And do you remember my Leopard Lily, sometimes called Blackberry Lily?
They have finished blooming and have formed seed pods. They really do look like blackberries.
Mimi is still happy to be able to look outside and see the sunshine. I took this photo as a practice shot with my new camera. I still have a lot to learn about that thing.

The Summer was like Autumn and now we have very nice weather.
Wow do the seeds ever look like blackberries! That is crazy! What else is crazy is the 3 months to boxing day!! Holy crap I better get some projects done!
Hi Hetty,
Love your flowers. Don't you just love the last hurrah of colors before everything turns brown? Hope you have a good week.

Isn't fall such a beautiful time for flowers. They seem to do better when it cools down a little.
Lovely photos Hetty. It was supposed to be a warm day here; but, we only had about an hour of sunshine the marine layer was so thick.
Summer did kind of just breeze by us this year, didn't it? Luckily, the end of summer brought us soome nicer weather.
