I know, I know, we’re already a month into autumn. But, it’s still been feeling “summerish” around here, though not for long. Next week’s forecast looks to be bringing on some cooler temps and a bit of wet weather. Oh well.
Anyway, I thought I’d do a little recap of summer at the createaerie. I’ve been out of touch with blogging since the spring and thought it’s about time I make an appearance. This happens every year. My gardening season begins, and I drop blogging by the wayside. So typical.
Who wouldn’t want to start their summer off with observing the emergence of a Cecropia Moth from its cocoon? What a magical experience.
Not long after, a mama wren took residence in this house and gifted me a little chirping choir of babies. Same time next year? I sure do hope so.
May, June and July were busting out all over with punches of color everywhere in my yard. I was a happy gal.
And, as summer progressed, bees and butterflies were doing what they do best – pollinating!
This potted combo was probably my favorite of all my personal container plantings this season. I’m especially a sucker for floral splashes of orange; however, I really don’t turn my back on any blooming face. I love them all!
Well, I hope you enjoyed this better-late-than-never summer stroll of my garden. And, while I let it prepare to bid good riddance to the growing season, I will be preparing for some upcoming holiday craft fairs. I can’t wait to show you what I’ve got brewing.
Stay tuned…..
