Earth under my nails, paint on my hands, pen & paper, clouds, trees & the secret paths under them—Cats, & more cats—Books & more books—
More Thanksgiving cactus—The reddish one is raised from seed—Easy to do—

These spend the warm months out under the red cedar, an ideal place for them in bright, dappled shade—Always a treat to bring them in for the holidays—

Lovely ‘Creme de Cassis’ dahlia still doing its thing—While it’s in a sheltered area and survived fine last night, our second night of frost tonight might do it in—

Dozens & dozens of bees and other insects on the yellow chrysanthemums today—

Shows the importance of late-season flowers such as these—

My heart is full—

I reworked this path by the garage earlier in the year—Here, a patch of annual scarlet sage adores the fall sunlight as the year begins to wind down—

A tiny visitor on an older variety of pink chrysanthemum in the garden—Like asters, these truly elevate the fall garden & feed pollinators late in the season—If you live in the south as I do, be sure to cut back in June to encourage multiple buds per stem and avoid early blooming—

Monarch butterflies stopping by the garden on their way to Mexico—If you grow dahlias, it’s good to include single-flowered varieties for pollinators—I grow both singles and doubles—

Soft yellow chrysanthemums in the garden—Along with asters, one of the best fall flowers—Single-flowered varieties like this are vital pollinator favorites at a time when other plants are winding down—

White flowers as dusk starts to settle—Moon flower, foxglove, & white ginger—A fantastically large moth visited the moonflowers just as I walked up—The moon flowers have a delightful fragrance, but the ginger -intoxicating!—
