I know some bloom seasons are over, maybe most, but I refuse to think about winter planning.

It's planning for next spring.

Nah I'm already sending out for fall planting THIS year. Spring planning comes in November after Christmas has been bought.............

A few recent shots around the yard:







Took this shot from my front door as the sun was setting last evening. Neighbor's (across the street) Crepe Myrtles are still looking beautiful too!

Fantastic flowers.

Had camera battery plugged in all night. Put it in camera, took 6 no 7 pictures and it said battery exhausted., Now what the "h" is that? Time for a new battery??????? Sure hope not.

did everyone go on vacation ???

No just outside in the garden taking advantage of the cooler weather.
Now off to the farmers market.

CeCe! is your camera over a year old?
Many older batteries just dont recharge as much as they get older.

Camera is almost 5 years old and yes needs new battery I'll survive it I guess..............

I have 2 batteries and always recharge and switch.I dont want to loose a minute of good garden light waiting for a recharge.

Maybe I'll just bite the bullet and get 2 or 3 while I'm at it. Then I'll be set for awhile..............

Batteries arent cheap but its nice to have an alternate when qne is recharging.

no theyre not............. as hubby just found out.

Check the type of battery you have. Some need to go all the way down once in a while before recharging for a longer lifespan. I am not " techie" enough to tell you which kinds.

Garden has slowed down, but a few things today

Daylily "Larry's Obsession"

But nice.

Yes, indeed.

Our DL 'Pumpkin Time' is going great guns. I has larger orange flowers, larger than some of our other flowers which are NOT orange.

Janice, those are wonderful. Just what I need after looking at my brown crispy yard.
