The Garden in Autumn







Ciao, gentle readers..

It was chilly when we started our walk this morning 
and it was a perfect morning
to do some weeding
so I murdered some grass 
and cut a few things back...






Most of my gardens are doing well..
but I have had trouble with
Mildew
this year..


my peonies were completely covered and I cut them
down to the ground..

now my Zucchini 
are slowly dying of it and I will have to yank it out
before it contaminates anything else...








the garden with the troubles is West facing and 
is in shade most of the morning..

so it is susceptible to mildew with all the rain we have had..

we shut off the sprinklers..

even in 80 degree heat...
things are molding... ugh.






but seriously.. I can't complain when I still have these 
Hydrangeas blooming so gorgeously...

below...





I am off to the studio..

I want to finish my Iris painting...

concentrating of that today...

Black Iris 

is the title, I have decided!!


thank you for stopping by the 

Lily Cottage.. 

we so appreciate your readership...

you viewers, readers, fans and lurkers..


Ciao! Ciao!!
