It is a beautiful sunny autumn day here again with the promise of a beautiful holiday weekend. We have several tours from Japan in the next few days before wrapping up our season and putting the garden to bed. Doesn't seem like yesterday we were looking forward to those first blooms.? Don't worry in no time we will be doing that again. It is definitely true that the older we get time goes by.
Anyway, it is the season to gather in some garden goodness to enjoy over the months ahead. I love to pick some of my hydrangeas to have indoors as they dry so nicely. Just put them in a vase with a couple of inches of water and leave them to dry while enjoying their beauty.
Don't they look pretty in the vintage McCoy vases..
late season color with the burning bushes , asters and sedums.
And as a bonus for you today this basket of goodies- what could be sweeter than these two puppies? They are Bernese Mountain puppies that came to visit with their sweet owner my friend Snow.

Che belle le tue ortensie!Qui in Italia,sta piovendo a me sta bene la pioggia,la trovo romantica|Ciao,Rosetta
Like very much your David phlox and dry hydrangeas are very interesting in an artist point of view. So many shades of pearly white, soft yellow/ green and light pink. Very inspiring.
Have a nice week.

Oh, dear Carolyn. I keep going back to look at the photos or your gorgeous hydrangeas. I don't believe I have ever seen as beautiful blooms.
I'm overwhelmed with your lush and beautiful hydrangeas! I can't even imagine having so many. I love them almost as much dried. And yes, it does seem like just yesterday! SO much pleasure your garden has brought...
I have no word... your hydrangeas are breathtaking! And Sadie and Agnes are simply wonderful!... Hugs!
Me thinks you have a new career in pet photography! ADORABLE. Thats all. XO

Oh my, oh my. Loved the gathering tour, Carolyn. So many sumptuous blooms.
The little pups were adorable, too. Susan
Beautiful garden, beautiful photographs! Great morning eye candy for me!
Gorgeous hydrangea blooms! I have gathered a few myself and dry them the same way you do.
Snow's pups are sweet, but it looks like they plan to chew their way out of the basket. :-)
Happy Thanksgiving.

Hydrangeas are my favorite and yours are so lovely. The wild flowers are beautiful, too. And what is nicer than 2 puppies in a basket. Very nice post, Carolyn, with beautiful photos, as always.
I thought the vases could not be beat until I saw the puppies.
The hydrangeas are beautiful, I love the mix of colours in them. I wish I had a little blue in mine, might just play with the soil PH next year to see.
Your wildflowers and pictures are beautiful, I noticed the lupin and wish there was still a bit over here.
Your little surprises in the basket are so cute.
Le tue ortensie sono splendide!!! Quelle che ho io nel giardino hanno preso un colore verde-rosato. Mi piacciono tanto le tue composizioni. Proverò a fare una ghirlanda di ortensie che assomigli un pochino alla tua. Complimenti per il blog: è bellissimo!!!
Hi Carolyn
You garden never ceases to amaze me. It is so beautiful, even this late in the season.
