    Good morning all. Nothing but sunshine and lollipops around here.....and I'll trade as many lollipops as you want for a sky full of dark clouds that are dumping their liquid or frozen precipitation on my yard.

    I have been catching up on plant photos to add to the GardenStew Database....got any you want to add? ;)

    Good day everyone, it was a day filled with everything except gardening. Well.....maybe a glimmer. My wife had her 50th class reunion last night it was a well attended evening event with dinner. The next morning featured a brunch and a tour of her old school which is closed due to budgetary reasons. The doors creaked open once again and in they filed as they did 50 years ago. The school had seen many iterations of students since they last walked the halls but some vestiges of their time there could be found. Their fading memories filled in gaps as they went from room to room recalling teachers and events. I took lots of pictures. In many corners they lingered and reminisced. It would probably be their last time within this childhood sanctuary. Time does not leave too many things untouched. For well past the meeting hour they talked in small groups linked as they were by their years together. Later by ones and twos they bid each other farewell and returned to today, their memories refreshed, till perhaps the next time.

    Jerry

    Good Monday morning all. Currently 13°C and overcast. No new car for me yet...I can't seem to decide what I want! The dealerships were closed yesterday so we looked around. Off to work today in my noisy old one.
    Have a great day all :)

    Hello Stew friends. It's a chilly 37°F here this a.m., so I'll be waiting for the mercury to climb a bit before I head out to work in gardens. Autumn is upon us. Been enjoying great weather for several weeks now.
    We usually have a beautiful show of colors to close out the growing season. Burning Bushes beginning to "burn", Asters and Mums are doing their thing, Maples beginning to turn their brilliant reds and yellows, etc. etc.
    Everyone have a good day!

    Morning all. Nothing but sunny and dry around here, even some cities a little south of Dallas had 100+ temps again.
    One of the weather prognosticators mentioned last night what I had been expecting....other than a sprinkle or two we will continue to be dry until at least late October.

    There was a wildfire about 5 miles from our house over the weekend. :rolleyes: Burned for about 6 hours.
