I empathize with you about letting go of a favorite season. I feel that way about Autumn. Our summers are brutal and when the cooler days arrive and bring the asters into bloom my spirit soars. I look out the windows~it's cold and rainy and think~here comes winter! Yikes. We will have to spend time in our photo archives to make sure to lift our spirits during these next months. gailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-43688351748589241722011-10-27T18:49:38.918-07:002011-10-27T18:49:38.918-07:00Very pretty new header.

My tomatoes have long since finished, but I think I helped them along with radical pruning to encourage ripening.<br /><br />I'm beginning to appreciate the charms of this season and when I look around my garden and see what's still lovely in yours, I admit that October can be a pretty nice month...as long as it doesn't rain!MulchMaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848950758103138175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-76402023670235458102011-10-25T16:32:19.972-07:002011-10-25T16:32:19.972-07:00I'd have to use spray paint to get all that co...I'd have to use spray paint to get all that color outside today Grace-- and you still have tomatoes and berries-- I love the mushroom.

But, I know what you mean about saying goodbye to summer. We have to wait now until spring to start the process all over again.
