time flies, 8/23 update

where have the days gone? i must have fallen asleep like rip van winkle; i've opened my eyes to see that summer is almost over. as much as i hate the heat and humidity, i am not looking forward to the impending changes. winter is not my favorite time. with the exception of the holiday season, i dread the winter months. considering it is late summer, the garden still looks pretty good. we have had a wonderful crew showing up to lend a hand and to all of them, i say thanks!

can you stand one more picture of the rain garden? here is the basin in late summer. still plenty of blooms to keep it colorful.

the junior beds are a riot of color thanks to all of the annuals.

i just love the zinnias in the junior beds, they are such happy colors. the skippers like them too!

skippers aren't picky, they like cosmos too.

not sure what these buggers are but they are all over the hibiscus. send them packing please!
i apologize for the poor photo, my camera doesn't do well with close up shots.
