Keeping my fingers crossed for a few worthy blooms to take to
Jane's Party.
Success!
 |
| Zinnias, Butterfly Bush, Roses, Asparagus Fern, and Hydrangea |
 |
| No fiddling, eye-balling, or arranging... just poked each one into the jar |
 |
| Zinnias are such happy little flowers! |
 |
| I pulled out the 4 little hydrangea clusters for the must-have lovelies on my desk! |
Our awesome blogfriend,
Madelief, reminded me recently of a wonderful book,
The Country Diary of An Edwardian Lady by
Edith Holden. I wondered what Edith observed in her September in 1906.
 |
| A lovely book... a fascinating woman, an interesting life... such beauty left for us to enjoy. |
While nurishing the needs of the zinnias, the downpours were unkind to
the plants. A bit of twine and a battered rake with a broken handle did
the job of holding them steady.
 |
| Couldn't leave out the beautiful Gala apples from our resent trip to the mountains. |
 |
| Winesap apples soon to be apple butter! |
 | | | |
| Autumn is coming! |

P.S.
Mise mentioned (and I am still giggling) in her post today that we "fling together a few effortless blossoms to display attractively in front of anything that will show us in a good light, lifestyle-wise"... please, please don't look to closely in the hopefully blurred background of the photos... you might see signs that my lifestyle is filled with clutter, dust, and a spiderweb or two!
