I’m wondering if it could be more perfect than the weather over the Columbus Day weekend. Then, happily, we got a ton of rain on Tuesday morning.

Several days of rain last week put me right. I finally was able to attend to some indoor projects.

The outdoor news this week has to be the lunar eclipse. Wow! It was so impressive. We hauled out lawn chairs, pillows and blankets.

I could not be happier with the change of seasons. Cool nights are just right for sleeping and midday light makes the garden world absolutely lovely.

I was so grateful for last Thursday’s downpour. It started off slow enough to prepare the ground.

There aren’t too many times in my life that I do not have the philosophy “more is better.” I am referring to the number of branches on a forsythia.
