Even a writer knows that SHOW is better than TELL. So, for this month’s blog, I’ll let my photos serve as your passport to the magic that’s unfolding right now in my yard and neighborhood!

My date … NAW! He’s a dummy (literally). Besides, I’d never date a fella whose makeup is better than mine.

Mums

Goldenrod (can you spot the bee?)

Wild pumpkin flowers

Halloween (son and daughter-in-law, AKA Frank Zappa and Amy Winehouse)

I hope you have a ball this fall!
