  3. Maggie,
    Cold and wet here. Organizing for trip back. I ship "stuff" so we just have carry-ons. We were supposed to go to the fair today. We shall see. I wouldn't want to get my camera wet or me for that matter.

  5. And your garden is clearly thriving in the heat. Sadly, it is a different story here in The North.

  7. Isn't it funny how we all experience such different weather and wherever we are seems the norm. Very cool and rainy here, a good day for watching more films. Thanks for stopping by. Do come again.

    I never knew there were pink forsythia!
    Great mosaic.

  11. That is warm! Nothing like summer showing her head again just after we thought she went away. Hot days are like a visiting relative. You are thrilled when they show up and love them but after a while they are just annoying and it is time for them to leave. :-)

  15. Dear Maggie, We are sharing the same weather today and spent the last two days outside. It is wonderful. Your flowers look great and still thriving. I'm collecting seeds from the hollyhocks to take to Texas. I like your new header, so fallish and autumn-like.
    Appreciate your comment today. Everything is working okay as of an hour ago. xo Jenny

  20. It must have been wonderful to have such heat in October. I've been taking gloves and a scarfe every time i leave the house...But it's not freezing at nights - that's very unusual...so we're still smiling.

  21. Oh you've been having the odd hot weather that I've heard bloggers speak of getting in Britain. It must be very sweet on the one hand and quite uncomfortable on the other. Lovely for the end of growing season for the plants, of course.
