A lot of perennials seem to be blooming again.
The above red blooms are a tiny rose...though their bushes look sad. And nobody's paying much attention to the thistle (or some other very prickly thing) growing in the foreground.
Today's quote:
Heartbreak and hope are not mutually exclusive. We can be angry and sad and filled with longing for something we cannot have, and simultaneously we can be grateful for what we’ve got — aware, for reasons we’d never choose, of what really matters and what doesn’t. |

Is it the warm weather, the azalea blooms are pretty. I love your header photo. Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI've been noticing these as well as the hydrangeas, and some roses are still blooming. We've not had rain for weeks, so the dryness pushes things to flower...probably thinking they must produce seeds in order to further their species.
Delete...many spring blooming plants send out blooms in fall.
ReplyDeleteI guess it's never been as apparent as it is this year.
DeleteI've seem some hydrangeas still hanging on.
ReplyDeleteThere seem to be some folks with these blue blooms. I've only ever had white ones, which come in the spring and summer.
DeleteThey do look so beautiful, but also a surprise in fall. Must be nice and warm and sunny there.
ReplyDeleteIt has been really comfortable for humans, but not so much for gardens, which humans are having to water to keep things alive through several weeks dry.
DeleteThey are pretty to see. Those two women in the card painting sure know how to enjoy life.
ReplyDeleteI love those 2 women. Not sure which one is most like me...but I can definitely identify with them.
DeleteAll of nature is a bit out of sync these days, I feel. Climate change, I guess.
ReplyDeleteWe are all learning a new swing in weather patterns, definitely.
DeleteI noticed a bloom on my azalea, too. I think it is the crazy weather making the plants feel like it is Spring again. My okra plants are finally producing! I love the old ladies in the illustration. Makes me long for my old friend in Missouri. We loved to chat while drinking too much coffee in the mornings! I named my cat after her and miss her so much. Just not the same on the phone!
ReplyDeleteThe thistly thing could be a sow thistle? ( yellow flowers)
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely.
