Blooms of the End of Summer

Well, not much left to bloom in my yard before the frost comes. I pulled up some of my annuals that I have neglected and are going to die when the frost hits them anyway. I also trimmed back more of my black eyed susans... The picture is my lariope. I love it. I have planted it on many edges of my various gardens and love it around my trees. I think I will purchase a few small yellow mums for my porch to enjoy for a couple of months before it's time to build a snowman. Speaking of snowmen, you can check out my Christmas Winter Items in my store for my latest listings including a wide variety of snowmen...

On the banks of the Conococheague

Our last camping trip was so fun! We had just missed a civil war reenactment, but there were a few still camping and taking advantage of the beautiful campsite in Hagerstown, Maryland. This tent was directly across from us. They have been doing civil war reeactments for 19 years.


This is one of the two cannons that they had with them. They came over at dusk and asked if we minded if they shot them off. We told them we had been waiting to see if they would and they invited us to be closer to them.


This is their other cannon. They were loud, of course, and everyone enjoyed being there and sharing the moment...



The owner is a primitive fan and her gardens were simply gorgeous...
