Summers End ~ First Signs of Fall

As I walked around my gardens this morning....  I noticed the first signs of Fall.

The late Summer flowers are in full bloom and beginning to fade while the Mums are just beginning to bloom.
I've planted a variety of perennials so I have continuous blooms from the beginning of Spring through the end Fall.  Sometimes we're lucky and the Mums continue to bloom through early Winter.  Soon it will be time to cut back everything and harvest seeds.

My husband built the wishing well a few years ago.  I just re-stained it.  When I applied the stain it renewed the wood and brought out the Cedar smell again.  Yeah!  I LOVE the smell of Cedar.  Sometimes I find that people walking down the sidewalk throw pennies in it.  I hope they made a wish and that it comes true.
He made the little "cart" from an old Coca Cola crate.  I love how it turned out.  I intend to use it as a planter box.

I noticed yesterday that the Pumpkins have arrived!  Our local grocer and plant nursery have some beautiful varieties this year.  White, orange and some awesome variegated ones.  I'm off to buy some for my Fall arrangements.

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!
