My Last Summer Blooms

HAPPY FALL TO ALL!

We were outside today doing some end of summer cleanup duties, before the rain and cold front come through.  When I looked over at my one flower bead my (3) rubekia plants were loaded with these beauties.  I just could not resist making one last summer bouquet. Can you believe the size of that front one?

While saying goodbye to Summer is hard, it is really nice to see the changing leaves here in the Northeast and some cooler temps.  However, that in no way means I am ready for really COLD weather, yet.

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend,
Chrissy

  2. Beautiful flowers! My rudbeckia look pretty sad right now. Yours are gorgeous. And I love the purple flowers you added ... is that salvia? Or maybe sage?

    1. Thanks Jennifer, but these flowers don't look as good a day later :( The purple flowers are actually lavendar, which adds a nice scent to the air.

  3. I love these flowers. I am a huge fan of this type of flower (I call them the daisy variety, for lack of knowing their botanical name). Daisies, sunflowers, black-eyed-Susans, zinnias . . . they are my favorites. I have been going through your posts and feel that we have a lot in common. I am your newest follower and I hope that you will feel good about becoming mutual followers. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better through blogging. Have a wonderful day, Connie :)

    1. Hi Laura,

      This painting process and decision making is harder than I imagined :) I guess because it is my kitchen and not just a piece of furnitue?
