Goodbye Flowers

This is the last pot of flowers in my front garden from my summer season of planting. I have a Fall mum which is a lovely shade of purplish pink. I have not decided if I will plant it in a few weeks.

My gardening season is slowly coming to a close. I was outside today playing in the dirt. I pulled up some more geraniums. I replaced them with some tulip bulbs. For the past three years, I have planted tulips in the garden. I just love how the are the first signs of spring after a LONG winter! Every year, I think, well, I won't have to plant anymore blubs next year, but then I see where tulips are and I think.... "I can put some in that corner in the fall." LOL. I have put some much love and attention into this garden that I cannot imagine it ever being loved by anyone as much as it is loved by me.

This year, I also planted a new bulb. I just tried 3 in one small area. My neighbor has these beautiful purple flowers come up in the spring. I hope they grow and I hope they look nice where I planted them!

I have one more area that has some flowers still in bloom, so I will get to play in the dirt one more time!
