Found in the front yard

This week I snapped a few pictures of what the front garden looks like at the moment. August is the month when "tired" seems to be the word that describes how my plants usually look. Despite this trend, I am particularly enamored with all the gold and burgundy flowers and foliage that August brings. My dahlias, after pinching them back in June, are looking better than ever.

I never tire of puttering around to water and harvest...there's something about being in my garden that just makes me happy.
