~~End of Summer Blooms~~

End of summer still blooms on at kattz*cottage ~~

Sunflowers........

Blue Mist.....

Althea - "Rose of Sharon".....

Red Salvia & Periwinkles......

Esperanza "Yellow Bells" & the "Katy Road" Rose......

4 O'clocks.....& one of our 2 Turkeys - "Pork & Bean".......

The front yard.......

Fall mums.....

This was our Morning Glory Deck 2 Years ago......

This is our Morning Glory Deck today.....It's amazing what a difference it makes when you don't get rain......morning glories barely bloomed this year.....& there is Turkey #2 - either Pork or Bean.....lol.....they love coming up on the deck to eat from the vines......

It's always sad to see Summer come to an end.......before long the flowers will fade but I have that wonderful fall feeling & will soon put up the fall wreath & the pumpkin on the porch ~~ the windows & doors are all open & the air is cooler, crisper ~~ it already feels like fall ~~ & it's only 4 days away ~~ I'm so ready to enjoy it!........Happy Autumn! xoxoxoxo Kathy

~~On Golden Trees~~

Shimmery Gold Trees.....
Dancing Leaves.....

Just found this little beaded tree!~ 50 cents at last weekend's garage sale!


~~ Little Golden Trees ~ Shimmering, light, & delicate ~ I put them in front of breezy windows or under a ceiling fan & they really shimmer & shine! I have found them all at garage sales - each for a quarter ~~ If you ever run across one I promise you will love watching it dance!

Hope you all have a super nice rest of the week! xoxoxoxo Kathy
