    I am really ready for a change of season. Bring on the cold, or at least cooler weather, that will hang around for a few months.
    This is just a little of what I still have blooming in my yard.

    Wished I had that much still in bloom here. Friday thru today its been excetionaly nice-in the 60's. This is the kind of weather I could live with thru our winter time.
    Very pretty blooms you have there.

    I've got blooming alyssum still, but otherwise it's all brown and grey here. I do envy you your colours, Toni.

    I've still got blooming Alyssum too and one lonely Scabiosa. I'd like to skip the cold weather and head right into spring :)

    I've still got allysum now too, and lots of mums and a purple coneflower (echinachea). I'm going to try to plant some pansies this weekend if I have time, just to have something pretty to look at as I come up the walk.

    Good grief, Toni! You are sitting good when it comes to the the blooms. The Alyssum, the Mexican Marigold....just so good to see.
    Your posting is just the opposite of mine. :)
