My Garden Fairy's Name
Your fairy is called Bramble Icefly
She is a bone chilling bringer of justice for the vulnerable.
She lives in leafy dells and bluebell glades.
She is only seen at midday under a quiet, cloudless sky.
She wears bluebell-blue dresses. She has icy blue butterfly wings.
Simple Joys...
- Pumpkin Pie
- Scent of a fireplace
- Fall leaves

Ha, you are prepared for October already. They have them out here too already. :)
I am crazy-aren't I?? I wanted to buy a pumpkin too (they have those out at the grocery stores) but knew I would have pie on the porch if I bought one! :)

Wow, you are fast! Those are pretty colors. I just ordered my mums through my niece's fundraiser. I can't wait until they come in.
meemsync--like the title, I just couldn't help myself! I know it's early, but I'll keep them watered and enjoy the full blooms in a week. They weren't too expensive, and believe me--I will be buying more. I love mums!!
I am so ready for Fall. I love the different colors.
I have ordered & potted up some of the plants that need to be started in the Fall. My mums have bloomed once already. Guess I'll trim them for more blooms later. Still too hot for pumpkins here.
Lola-it's hot here too, way too hot for pumpkins, but I sure would like a real one. I decorate my home for fall--so I have plenty of pumpkins out, just not the real deal. But come October.... :)
I made myself stop before I bought some to burn up on our deck. Your's sure are pretty. I will wait for cooler weather...I will wait for cooler weather.. I will,.
Debbi-lol! You are disciplined--not me! I couldn't resist that bright yellow color. I have been sitting on the patio wishing I had more of those spicy plants sitting around me....yeah...to burn up in this awful heat. Will it ever end??
lol!
Tina, you are so right! :)
Stop wishing summer away! I love summer, and I don't want it to leave! LOL I know, it's much hotter down there. But have mercy on us here in the north, where fall brings a definite chill, with nasty old winter following behind. Yuck!
Sometimes we can't help ourselves. At least you enjoyed yourself and getting a good laugh out of it too!!!
Robin-I know. I do know how lucky we are here with our winters. It has just been such a hot and dry summer. The humidity is so bad, it is so unpleasant outside. I am just ready to be able to walk, grill out--just enjoy being outside again. :)
MR--yeah, I did laugh at myself when I sat the mums on the porch. (probably along with my neighbors laughing at me too!) :)
Still in the 90's here but little to no humidity! Yippee, life is good...
Skeeter--that's the key...humidity! I don't think it would feel nearly this hot if the humidity was not so high. Ugh...I do hear that far is 2 weeks away though. Yea!!
