It's warm at the coast today, Indian summer I call it, pine needles cover the patio and pathways,
leaves are falling, the air is scented with a marine brine, fall is here.
With this comes lots of work in the garden, I find it joyful and relaxing .
Teddy is always close by, looking for a cool spot to spread out.
The ferns dance in the warm breeze sheltered by giant redwood trees .
At my potting area I have various collections of floral frogs, seems I never have enough...
I always buy more ! old, and rustier the better .
Last year I made these clay succulents at my friend Lindy's, I leave soon for 5 days at her
ranch with another friend Gayle, we will be making lots of wonderful things .
This one is a favorite .
We still have blooms on several succulent plants, they enjoy the mild weather here.
Come late afternoon a glass of good red is a fine reward .
Turtle frogs ! I have a family of them !
Evening we walk through our garden, swept, watered, fresh......
grateful for such a beautiful place we call home .
This is my studio nestled in the oaks .
Potting area cleaned and pine needle free.......almost !
Thank you for stopping by, wishing you a spooky trick or treat......
Happy days ~ vicki
