Snippets

Yesterday two Japanese women walked by the house and praised the way the garden looked..."very nice, very nice!" (Nodding heads while repeating the words.) It dawned on me that I should take a few photos to remember this September in Cashmere!

 This year we planted alyssum around a single geranium in the front pots.

Easy Does It, in a back yard pot, is getting larger blooms now that the weather is cooling down.

 

Dick Clark is a long lasting blossom on the bush as well as cut. It begins with a yellow bud that changes as it ages.

 Picnic table area has grasses with petunias.

 This spider has been eating away for the last month or so. It is amazing to watch as its abdomen has grown. This is the underside which faces out.

 The side yard, inside the taller gate, has pots of roses to enjoy in private. The two large roses wintered in place last year and did wonderfully this summer.
