The Lazy Gardner’s Garden in Fall

Subtitle: The Lazy Blogger’s Nearly-Text-Free Post

Did I mention I love my garden? Okay, so you probably have to pretend you’re Indiana Jones, whacking back the tall grasses with your machete to get up and down my front walkway, but that makes it fun. If you dig around a bit, you find all kinds of little moments. You just have to know where to look.

I ran around with my phone-camera today and snapped pics of some of those moments. I hope you enjoy them!

The view from my back door: phlox, vintage roses, and Himalayan honeysuckle.

Close-up of the vintage rose – whose name I’ve forgotten – and the Himalayan honeysuckle, taken on my back porch. The whole yard smells like phlox & roses.

The first aster Ruby Morn to bloom, along with some Baby Blanket roses.

Coral phygelius and Japanese anemone.

The hydrangea that lives at the bottom of the front stairs. The blossoms turn a deeper red over time.
