The weather is dream-like. Another cool night followed by a lovely Monday... Mostly sunny to partly cloudy today , a tad warm. I just stepped in-perennial plants to prune in the Fall.It never hurts to take some time and put your garden to bed, in the Fall.Even in colder climates, it can be nice to leave some perennials standing throughout the fall and winter months. Just caught a glimpse of the weather report-an overnight low of 8C(48F) come Friday!! Yikes!! While I often miss the lazy days of summer spent outside (or poolside for some of you ) nothing can compare with the perfect temperatures and soft breeze of an autumn afternoon. Cool breezes have started to appear, and while outside our house I can find Leos blooming roses still, I can also see leaves starting to yellow. I love this upcoming season. Each season is something to savor and enjoy when it first appears. I cannot get enough of Fall. The colors, the holidays, the changes -- its all so magical to me. Every year its similar, but every year feels like Im experiencing it for the first time. Fall has a special place in my heart for so many reasons.I was born late September. I emigrated to the United States October 6th 2001 ,after a 3 year courtship (1998 to 2000) My biggest takeaway is that if the courtship is smooth, the marriage will be as well.I’m just sayin’.. *smile* These days of brisk winds, chilled, but not freezing weather, and pumpkins and leaves on the ground are connected in my mind to happy events. Our summer has been bright and sunny and wonderful, but as we approach Fall, I don’t mind seeing clouds in the sky. I welcome them as old friends.One of my most favorite things is to wrap up in a blanket (while wearing my comfy jeans and soft sweater), with a steaming cup of hot tea in hand, and grab a favorite book ....
