Here, There, Everywhere....

Greek Oregano and the multi-colored Roma's

Roma's of various shades, shapes and sizes...

Hydrangea, soon to be cut back and dried....

The new Girl on the block...she talks and she talks and she talks...

Pawtuxet Cove...picture perfect..

Pawtuxet Cove, looking North...more picture perfect...wish you could smell the sweet/pungent aroma of low tide...

Dismantling the garden, stake by stake, initially takes a bit of courage, but as with planting, once you get going, you know that is is a good thing. The cherry tomato stems and leaves had gone from brown and falling off, to moldy, to still growing. I pulled them all. What was amazing to me were the depth of the roots...who knew? The Roma's still have some life in them, so, for the most, they will stay for a wee bit longer....and of course, the Greek Oregano gives and gives. I have a new feline friend from down the street who kept me company all the while. She is a real beauty, extremely vocal (did I mention that she is a she?).

The early fall colors and foliage are not to be missed, so here are a few photos from round and about town, here, there, everywhere...

Autumn Hydrangea

Autumn is in full swing in New England. Although, I have to say, my impatience, my overflowing impatience in my window boxes, are still hanging on. These are photos of the same hydrangea which I took during the summer. Their deep purples, blue tones and green hues make for quite an eye full. I have cut them back and have them hanging upside down on the wall right above my computer. For me, a very symbolic sign of entering into the new season!

My Mom is doing better and is in a brand new wing of the hospital for pulmonary/cardiac rehabilitation. She thinks it is so beautiful, that she may not mind staying for 2 weeks! Sense of humor, still intact!. Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers for her. I simply cannot thank you enough.
