A chill in the Air

What a great day to be outside gardening.



 My purple cone flower, phlox, blue hydrangeas and pinky winkey are in full bloom.


Cleaning up the beds and trimming the bushes. My sedum will soon turn to pink.

Fall is just around the corner.



The sun is shining and a few clouds come and go.

Cut some bulrushes from the ditches and placed them in galvanized  tins.



Placed some rocks in the bottom to keep them secure then added some water.
They sit on each end of my black bench.

Planted 2 perennial Perovskia  or other name Russian Sage.

These will take root in no time and will become a nice bush next spring with
beautiful lavender flowers.  Great time to purchase perennials. They are 75% off in most
nurseries. I paid $4.99 . They were $12.99.

Well before we know it will be time to decorate for fall

Have you already started???

Thanks for stopping by and leaving all your lovely comments.
