All the rains we've had for the past six weeks not only alleviated the drought stress, but seemed to spur my plants into a heightened state of floriferousness! Blooms are bursting out all over, the weather has cooled down, the skies are tinted that incredible shade of crystalline blue, and the sun's rays are slanting down in a painterly manner that seems to bathe everything in a golden glow. The air is crisp, and it's finally time to open up the house to fresh air. Ahhhh, I love fall.
