If March comes in like a lion, it is said to leave like a lamb.

I've just remembered that Fall is not Winter... there's still beautiful weather ahead and time to do lots of things. And when we finish with Fall chores, etc. and the enjoyment of the season... we'll probably be ready for Winter! ;-)<br /><br />Hi Joco! You must have enjoyed a cooler summer, too? Oh - about those hostas in the header photo... that was in July, I think. By August, things had changed a bit. There have been "nibbles" and holes where branches fell from the trees, etc. <br />I'll look forward to a return visit. :-)<br /><br />Hi Lisa, You would be invited to any party I had! ;-) <br /><br />Rosemary, Thanks! Are you beginning to see "color" these days, too?Shady Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007816271406393818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-61417615564581115682009-10-02T06:06:59.134-05:002009-10-02T06:06:59.134-05:00Hi Shady; Your poem celebrates October perfectly.Hi Shady; Your poem celebrates October perfectly.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126209675266816687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-34268401468020964942009-10-02T05:11:56.224-05:002009-10-02T05:11:56.224-05:00Your photos are a perfect compliment to the poem S...Your photos are a perfect compliment to the poem SG.

And here in the UK too August never was.<br />Your Hostas look wonderfully un-nibbled. How <i>do</i> you manage that I wonder. I have tried everything to keep the snails off of them.<br />Thank you so much for saying hello on my leafday post. When many stop by and don't speak, I worry nobody likes it.

I was Surprised to see I'd been nominated on Blotanical. (Pleasantly surprised!) ;-)<br /><br />Patsi, I'm having a tree planted yet... looking forward to a new (small in stature) Sunburst Locust in the front. I'm missing some of the shade that we lost - plus, this tree offers a light shade and beautiful Spring color! :-)Shady Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007816271406393818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-34727720382345809102009-10-01T18:06:03.818-05:002009-10-01T18:06:03.818-05:00I remember last October...wishing I worked into my...I remember last October...wishing I worked into my garden plans some trees that had leaves turning red this time of year.<br />I'm more like a 2 and 1/4 season gardener. ha.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834331771109216377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-35862780289733533822009-10-01T17:51:59.668-05:002009-10-01T17:51:59.668-05:00Stunning photos and perfect poem for Muse Day (I&#...Stunning photos and perfect poem for Muse Day (I'm still working on mine plus catching up on a few e-mails).
