Quite Contrary...

As the cooler temps arrive in our area... our garden is quickly become just a memory... here are some of our FAVORITES from this year....

Black-eyed Susans...


Morning Glories (new this year)...

Sunflowers... these were scattered throughout the garden accidently by the birds... you can tell what Michael put in the birdfeeder... LOL
Phlox... a FAVORITE this year...

Echinacea (Coneflower)... a Favorite of our garden visitors...
Hydrangea (Shade Loving)... It amazed Lilley-Kate that there were three different colors on the same bush...
Daisies... Our personal FAVORITE... how can you not be HAPPY looking at these out your kitchen window?...
Budlea (Butterfly) Bush... one of the BEST smelling flowers in the garden... LOVED by the bees, hummingbirds and yep... you guessed it... BUTTERFLIES...
Hydrangea (Sun Loving)... again... a totally amazing thing to Lilley-Kate this year...
And of course... as requested... the PINK PETUNIAS... Lilley-Kate's FAVORITE...

THe flowers gave us all many hours of enjoyment... Lilley-Kate has developed a LOVE of gardening and flowers and I am so happy to have her to share it with... she's already decided she wants LOTS of Sunflowers next Summer... something to look forward to through the LONG WINTER ahead!
