The "Dance of Autumn"

I have to admit I sat squirming at the breakfast table while having my cup of morning Java..wanting the sprinklers to hurry up and do their thang as I watched the Hummers dancing around their feeders along with the Doves cooing beckoning for me to come outside and play..what a glorious morning it is in my world..63 degrees!!..Absolutely zilch humidity..awwwwwww...my garden is calling...Wake up Pookies...how can you just lie there asleep on your perch under the Australian Fern when such beauty is all around you???

The "Hurricane Lilys" aka "Red Spider Lilys" are popping up everywhere...'tis a sure sign that Autumn is near!!

Like Little Ballerina's doing their dance..surely there must be a song of their own for such regal beauty?

What else would be giving me a peek of it's bloom but the Autumn Sedum?..can't wait for it's explosion of colour!

Dh thinks I'm the Mad Hatter Gardener when it comes to planting..ie..Chaos?..I prefer to call it Heaven on earth with all the fragrance and I get to watch the bees,butterflies and the Hummingbirds dancing among this...taking their morning drink

I can't take credit for the wild morning glorys amongst this...my gardening birdies are to be thanked!!

But I do take credit for the "Scarlet" and "Alba" Coral vines

"Sophy" how you take my breath away!! All I can do is Click@!

CLICK!!

Click with my camera

My Little "Angel Face"

I truly enjoyed running around fertilizing all my roses and clematis this morning and gathering up roses for my vase..but had to leave some...beautiful Rosa "About Face"..mmmm...something so special about this one..

Such a bright cheery corner of my gardens...I enjoy walking by all this beauty and bending over to take in the fragrance of the roses

I find myself trying to visually drink in everything so as to have something to remember to help me get through winter as fall comes to an end?..How I hate for it all to leave....Clematis "Solina"..will this be her last flush of the season???

Please don't make me say goodbye..sweet sweet "Celosia"

The afternoon rains and cooler temps have made all my African Daisys rebound and begin blooming..I don't have the heart to tell them their time is near an end....Like a dear dear sweet friend that you wished would never leave...Hope you have enjoyed..I had such a glorious time in my gardens this morning..I took about 40 pic..LOL..but I shan't bore you with all of them...Jeanne

Jeanne---BEAUTIFUL pics!!!! I am in love with your garden too. Spectacular flowers and garden. I hope one day that I am able to grow such beautiful flowers like yours. I sure did enjoy all of your pics, thanks for posting.

Absolutely gorgeous!

63 degrees? Must be nice...

I hope my gardens look as good as yours one of these days... but I've only been there a few months... we'll give it a few more years...

And let the kitty sleep! I mean, you did plant all that for him, didn't you?
