Re: "The Poet's Wife" --that is a relatively new offering from David Austin, and Norma was keen for its distinctive yellow blossom. Mr. Austin is still a young gardener at 91 years old, and has his son to assume the rigors of a world of orders. The mum is local, an old friend in our yard and (Oh Boy!) are we ever ready for autumn weather.Geo.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16221314320558128986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7740983595962649109.post-69493509182576863552017-10-21T18:42:00.647-07:002017-10-21T18:42:00.647-07:00What a beautiful rose with a lovely name . . . no ...What a beautiful rose with a lovely name . . . no wonder you got dizzy after seeing it and the mum one after another.

I read your comment on someone else's blog (Don't ask me which one!) in which you said something about having written a post about a slug. Now, I'm not a big fan of slugs... or maggots... or leeches. They all share a common ICK factor for me. Nonetheless, I came to your blog, secure in the belief that if anyone could write an endearing post about a (shudder) slug, you could. <br /><br />So I'm smiling. Surprise! No slugs. Your salute to autumn is terrific. :) The mum is particularly beautiful. I haven't seen any of them in bloom around here yet, but it's starting to FEEL a bit more like fall, anyway, so the drive to dance should be starting any day now.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7740983595962649109.post-9497374555519202352017-10-20T10:43:00.309-07:002017-10-20T10:43:00.309-07:00I think Gaia treated you to an excellent show.I think Gaia treated you to an excellent show.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7740983595962649109.post-31398781786764658132017-10-20T03:54:12.296-07:002017-10-20T03:54:12.296-07:00A tintinnabulation...now that's a word with a ...A tintinnabulation...now that's a word with a good beat that you can dance to.Chickens Consiglierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838651895340049983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7740983595962649109.post-1452981146325231472017-10-20T01:06:24.592-07:002017-10-20T01:06:24.592-07:00A fabulous articulation of Autumn!
