Cooler mornings, cooling evenings, new lawns, turning leaves (yes, we do have some of those in the southwestern states!). Bring out the mukluks and comforters!

Anything else we should be thinking about?

I vowed last year I wasn't going to overseed my lawn myself. The fellow I asked to do the job doesn't seem interested (I offered $100) so, I'm doing it myself. Ugh. Lots of work but it'll get done!

I am so looking forward to FALL!! I have been cleaning up and rearranging some pots, Put down a red colored wood mulch around the half circle where my 3-tiered fountain sits. That really brightened up that area which is next to the lawn. The green beans I planted in a big tub are all a couple inches high now.

I do not overseed with rye anymore because they use three of the winter months to figure our sewer bill for the year which means I try to use little water then. I really miss that rye color. I will have to enjoy photos of yours Susie !

Love that color daylily, beautiful photo.

I sure love fall and just took a minute break to peek in! Susie and Linda....we can celebrate fall even with these warmer temps.
Linda the mulch sounds great! Susie, I should come help you next week....do you want some help?

Oh! Yes! if you feel like getting dirty! Thanks, Becky! We'll decide on a good day. I have dentist on Monday 11-1pm and Wednesday lunch 11:30 - 1:30. Let's talk!

The thread "October Challenge ~ Create Tin Garden Art" in Garden Art forum

Become a can hoarder for a couple for a couple of months! I use few cans but have been saving them for 3 months. For October we are making tin garden art objects and for November, Sharon is teaching us how to make nutcrackers, with tin cans as the skeleton.

Luv your new avatar, Boo.

Tin cans, huh? The only cans I have are dog food cans. Do you want some? Corks?

I'll check out your link. I guess anyone who's into garden art will be inspired by ways to recycle cans.

I think I'm okay Susie...my balcony won't hold much more! I think you should make one for your beautiful backyard!

I am so excited it's fall finally! I have kinds of stuff starting to bloom again! My popup garden is coming to life once again

Oh goodie! More aliens from Marie's garden. She's got a plot of land out there that is on the radar for NOIDs! What is that beauty, Marie? The rose color is gorgeous! Like a Cuban Lily or something????? Do tell

Lycoris radiate or something like that. These are sure sign if fall for me. Oh these too

I love all the surprises you take the time to share with us Marie! Someday I will come out and take a couple of my grandchildren home (some AZ Poinsettias) but I've found out I have a shade garden for now.

When you are ready I am sure I will have tons of your great grandchildren available!

Thanks...it will be a few years down the road

One year ago tomorrow 10/5 we had that monster hail storm.

New roofs, new A/Cs, new paint jobs, dented cars, broken windows, burglar alarms going off... what a day!

I thought that was just last year. Did we have one 4 years ago too?

What the HECK was I thinking!?!
I fixed it!
Big thunder, lightning, rain here.... You, Becky?
It's POURING.

Boo-Hoo you got my rain.... All we got was the wind.

Hooray for the storm

Lots if wind and a wee bit of rain.

Yea Brittany!
How are you and Madeleine? Any day now? Was the due date 10/13? I can't wait to meet her.

Back from Sacramento. I have something for her. She'll love them, I think. I'll be in touch!
