Signs of Autumn - September 2011




The humidity has gone for now and I can feel the seasons slowly changing down here in South Florida. The garden is overgrown and just before, I began the job of trimming. The gardens need mulching and weeding and soon I will go to the garden center and buy many bags of eucalyptus mulch. I like eucalyptus mulch because it does not harbor ticks. Sammie hates ticks.

Each year I have taken photos of the gardens as they change. These are the latest.

The iron mesh table and 3 chairs are a newish acquisition from Nettie's Consignment shop, after she moved into larger quarters. She is a great source of unusual and fun outdoor and indoor furniture and collectibles. I began my Fiesta plate collection because of Nettie's.

I just bought a new used Shabby Chic coffee table from Nettie's and she has two of my large pieces there for sale. I had to clear out to make visual space. The coffee table is off white and large enough for at least six of us to sit around it and have a feast.

Saturday I hope to have some friends over for a Moroccan meal to celebrate my new Moroccan space. Appetizers on the new table. Olives, flatbread, hummous, and wine. yummy.
