I cannot believe it! Autumn has begun in the northern hemisphere. (And if you live in the southern hemisphere I am quite envious as spring is my favorite season.) Is it feeling like autumn (or spring) yet, where you are?

There is a burnishing and golden glow to the greenery to let me know that it is time for everything to start winding down for the year, but there is still a warm and humid feeling to the outside air. It is impossible to think that we will have a frost in a few weeks. That is typically when we do, and then all growth in the garden comes to a definitive end. Yep, I don’t believe it… It has been so warm.

Trying to get into the autumn spirit got me looking through some of my ensemble photos from previous autumns and found this one of Gina from 8 years ago. I thought I’d share it with you again, since she is a favorite. Sweet isn’t she?

So what are you up to on the first day of this new season? So far I’ve cleaned out a few pots of plants. Slowly but surely is how the garden gets cleaned up around here. Maybe I’ll now be able to get into my sewing room… for a little sewing.

I hope you enjoy the weekend! Sending you lots of dolly hugs from my girls.🤗
