Books

Thankful Thursday and Little Things Thursday

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, September 28, 2023
I am thankful for books and Libraries! I borrowed these three on Monday: "Big Lies in a Small Town" by Diane Chamberlain, "A Week in Winter" by Maeve Binchy, and "Nantucket Sisters" by Nancy Thayer. I worked 22 years in a library, but had no time to read. Now that I am retired, I am reading a lot. As someone said, "So many books, so little time!"

Have a blessed day!

Autumn Wildflower

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, September 26, 2023
Blue Mistflower, Conoclinium coelestinum, grows in the eastern part of the US from Pennsylvania to Kansas and all across the southern states from Texas to Florida - a twenty-six state area. And it may occasionally be found as far north as southern Canada.

Today is my Blog Anniversary - 12 years!

Have a blessed day!

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, September 2023

The northeast corner of Mississippi, USA zone 7b

Althea, Rose of Sharon, Hibiscus syriacus ...a pink one...

...and a white one

Encore Azalea "Autumn Royalty"

Cypress Vine...white...

...and red

My Geranium is in a hanging basket on my front porch.

Wind and rain blew my Phlox (Phloxes?) down to the ground, but they are still blooming!

My "Iceberg" Rose has pink buds, but the blooms open up white.

Sedum, Stonecrop

Turk's Cap, Malvaviscus arboreus

A follow-up to July's Bloom Day post:
American Beautyberries, Callicarpa americana, have tiny pink blooms in July. Now in September, we see why they are called Beautyberries. They provide food for the birds.

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!
