Here is a last bit of summer sunshine to start your day.  Julia gave me this begonia last year when she left for Florida.  I kept it alive in the basement.  I'll tell you the truth, I didn't baby it AT ALL.  I just cut it way back, and watered it about three times all winter.  This spring I brought it outside, and it has grown back to be beautiful, and greet me every day when I walk out the front door.  And of course, the hummingbirds visit it every day too.   

 

Not too many signs of summer left:  too hot, too dry.   So we are just kissing our mountain summer goodbye, and looking forward to a gorgeous fall.  I think the drought may have pushed it up a little.  

 

I am excited to be part of it, and to share it with you.

 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
