We've had not one drop of rain in September. <br /><br />Stella - Most of our trees are only showing hints of color. Don't know what was going on with the one that was all red so early.<br /><br />Rosey Pollen - Gardening has me worn out, but I'm not ready for the growing season to be over. <br /><br />Nell Jean - Lantana as a perennial, you're lucky. When I pull out the lantana plants in the fall, it's hard to do because the roots go so deep. <br /><br />Gail - Thanks for coming by. We can try to hold winter back, but I don't think we'll be successful.<br /><br />joyce - You're right, sneezeweed is not an appealing name. Most people probably refer to it as helenium. <br /><br />Rose - I saw a hummingbird out on the flowers yesterday, but they haven't been to the feeder for days now. And thank you for the heads up on my bad Mr. Linky link. <br /><br />Jan - I always see things in your garden that I never see up here and I find that interesting.<br /><br />beth - My motto could be....a honeycrisp apple a day will keep the doctor away. <br /><br />Catherine@AGardenerinProgress - Every year my butterfly weed comes up so late that I always think it didn't survive the winter. <br /><br />sweet bay - Yes, the grass is pennisetum. It's an annual here, and I plan to have more of it next year. <br /><br />Helen - Over the years, I've tried lots of plants that RnotUs...cute. <br /><br />Barefoot from Heaven - I can't remember the last time I sprawled out on the grass. It's not too late, I guess. <br /><br />Marie - Thank you for visiting my garden.<br /><br />Bonnie - When I see your name it reminds me of my sister, Bonnie. Glad you stopped by.<br /><br />Lindalou - P lives about 30 miles away and almost always spends at least one night a week with us. He'll eventually outgrow us, but I won't think about that now.<br /><br />Sue - It's easy to leave nice comments on your blog...it's a very inviting garden.<br /><br />Sylvana - I think I'll rename the "messy bed" the "casual bed".donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950476333013336671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466749561761906021.post-81398625297090711532009-09-16T21:56:55.839-05:002009-09-16T21:56:55.839-05:00My favorite photo is your messy bed.
