The weeds along the line of the fairy garden fence never lost their access to abundant rain this summer and they’ve rather taken over. There’s green everywhere in the yard; enough that it’s hard to believe Fall and September are at hand.
And yet, here we are. There’ve been enough cool mornings to get the dogwood tree to think of the coming season.
The same is true for the peach tree.
Though the hostas don’t look bedraggled by the heat as they usually appear in August, they do look a bit tired.
Summer flew by and I can’t quite believe that Fall is at hand. I’m never ready to say goodbye to flip flops; this year is no exception. But tomorrow is Labor Day and Tuesday is the first day of school and just like that, I’m wearing shoes again and we’re off and running. By this time next month, the fairies and I will be planning for their slumber season. I’ve already stacked up some garden bulb catalogs to enjoy as a treat this back-to-school week and as September closes out, I will have ordered some bulbs for next Spring. At least a few will be planted in this fairy patch. Gardening always rewards advance planning and I like that.
I especially love the seasons as they are changing and nothing is more lovely than the cooler mornings that signal Fall on the horizon. The fairies and I are ready for the change.
