Colder Nights

I don't do any seasonal decorating any more, as you can tell from the total absence of any pumpkin pictures on my blog, but Mother Nature certainly switches up the look around here.  The colder nights always start painting the Hydrangea blooms lavender and eventually a deep burgundy color. Even when they have been baked and faded by the Summer sun, they still put on their Autumn show.  I never dead-head it until there is nothing left except the skeletons because I adore watching the colors change!
No blog-worthy junking hauls lately, which is probably a good thing, but I have been busy working on my "Pay it Forward" projects, at long last.  I have them all packed up to go in the mail tomorrow and will show what I made sometime next week.
They say the first big rain of the season is on the way.  I have snugly new house socks and I am ready for some cozy.

Welcome Autumn!

 Welcome Autumn!  Last Spring I never would have predicted you would hear me say those words but I AM READY.  The temps are cooling off and the garden knows it is time.
 The Hydrangeas are fading from blue to green and on their way to the dusty burgundy that signals the end of the season.
Even the sedums are taking on their Autumn hue.  Now how about a little rain, PLEASE.  Another word I never thought you would be hearing me say but me and the garden are so ready for a long steady shower!
(I think I have that sorting thing figured out, at least for me.  Stay tuned!)
