IF IT IS SEPTEMBER, THEN MY FAVORITE SEASON IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER. 

Fall is coming, with brilliant flashes of leaf color, lovely temperatures both day and evening, and of course, football season. It is also a wonderful time for the garden, with plants that have been biding their time and are now ready to give a show. Let’s go read, travel and garden.

For many, August marks the gradual decline of summer. Following August comes autumn and then winter.
