1. My dear Ptah.........

And this, sweetie, is the downside of the growing season.....

The end of it, when everything dies.....:cry:

But the spring will come again.......when the life is resurrected.......

:hug: :loveya:

I am glad to see you tonight, my dear neighbor.......

[Ptah]

2. I really need your neighborliness tonight, Peggy.

I don't know why,but I'm down tonight.

Thanks for the hug and love.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Isn't that strange........my dear Ptah........

I was feeling a little bit down too.....a little restless.....

But perhaps if we talk together, we can dispel our problems......

I don't have anything really big that's wrong right now.....

Just a couple of small, nagging things that are bugging me...

But between some very cool Billy Joel music right now, and your conversation......

Well, let's just say I am doing a bit better.......:hug: :pals:

[AutumnMist]

5. I Know I am Butting In Here

but I thought I would share this with you. :hug: I hope your night gets better.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. My dear AutumnMist........

You are most certainly not butting in! I appreciate the hug a whole lot, too.......

Thank you for that........:hug:

My night is quite a lot better, now.......

[AutumnMist]

4. Mammoth Sunflowers

We had a garden full last summer. They are beautiful and when they are gone? You know Fall is right around the corner. Save some seeds and plant some beauties next spring. Wonderful pics!

[Ptah]

7. I have only a small area to work with.

Any success is cause for celebration.








It must be fall, the temp will be below 70 deg F tonight.

:brrr:

[AutumnMist]

12. You Did Great!

what a joy it must have been to see when you went outside. It doesn't matter how much space you have. Its what it means to you when you see them. I am a true gardener. The hedges aren't always cut straight, but I do love to see my plants (of all kinds) grow and change. I think it brings a certain spark to the soul. Enjoy yourself and get some mums for fall. They are wonderful inexpensive plants that will give you color and beauty through the fall. They are also great for container gardens. :) Have a wonderful night.

13. Pictures?

Sweet dreams, AutumnMist.

:hi:

[AutumnMist]

17. Sweet Dreams. Don't Let The Bedbugs Bite.

Some pics to share with you. The sunflowers against the barn and our daughter last summer by the goldfish pond. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. My dear AutumnMist........

These are wonderful! Your garden looks like a garden should.........

And your daughter is so lucky to be growing up in such a place.....

Thank you for sending me to see these!

[Ptah]

8. I think it was twelve feel tall, at it's peak.

The view from here is spectacular.

[Reverend_Smitty]

10. wow that's impressive

and a funny picture to boot! :)

[auntAgonist]

16. ah but they lasted and gave such pleasure for a while

Did you gather the seeds to dry? We used to do that and then feed the birds over winter.


I've enjoyed your photos so much, brought back memories they did!

Be uplifted, know you've touched many.

:hug:


Spring will come again .. and with that, rebirth.
