change is in the air…
hot summer temperatures are trying to loosen their grip on us here in Northern Virginia which will be a welcome change in my book…
but summer is not quite over yet…
I picked a handful of what’s blooming to play with out on our back porch using some of the old found bottles we’ve collected…
here’s wishing you a very Happy T day…

Your garden continues to offer you beautiful gifts and I so like the display of the pretty blooms in the found bottles.
The sun shines here but little heat is to be found in the sun. A most definite nip in the air.

OK, what I want to know is does it always look that beautiful? I mean, are you like me and when you’re taking a picture on the window sill you move off all the crap that accumulated there, neatly rearrange beautiful things (like that fabulous arrangement — love the vases!), shoot a photo and then slowly but surely all the junk ends up there as the flowers drop one by one? I’m just asking because when I look at the beautiful pix in this post, I get a serious inferiority complex! (Just teasing — a little… I have a feeling it’s like that all the time!)

We had humidity last week that left us drenched and drained. Now the heat is full on again. Can’t even handle the steering wheel when getting out of school at 3:00 p.m. Your blooms are lovely. Have a great rest of the week. tammy

I just saw your comment on the pokeberry. Looks like I might have something ELSE to add to my dyeing frenzy one of these days. Thanks for the heads up.
Also, I just learned LAST NIGHT about the Mexican Sage. It’s supposed to be an ornamental. Color me super surprised!! I was going to use it in those sage thingys you burn. Smudge something or other. I think you know what I mean.
