Fall Funk

Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

 

When we were away on vacation we didn't get a lot of rain.

That was good for the vacation but bad for my planters. I didn't get anyone to water them while we were away and now they look well, dead.

I am now thinking that I need to get out to the garden center and maybe pick up some 'fallish' looking things for the flower pots I set out beside my front door.

Does this mean summer is really over?

Am I supposed to be ready for autumn?

Sigh.

It's only September 5th and I miss summer already.

I'm glad to see it's not just my flowers that are looking, well, dead.
Bring on the Fall!

[Christina]

I have decide to just complety forget trying to have plants -- I jsut kill them. Yours look better than mine ever could!

[Tiaras & Tantrums]

So NOT ready for fall!! I love fall - but I HATE winter!!!

[Lynette]

Sadly, that's how mine would look on their best days. I stink at keeping plants and flowers alive. I am going to make an attempt at mums again this year. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed. Yep, summer's over.

[Karen]

Mine died from sheer neglect. I wasn't even on vacation. But no worries - the pumpkins are turning orange and they'll fill those planters quite nicely. I LOVE autumn.

I once killed a cactus. Now that's a feat!

[Madge]

i haven't been gone, but my flowers look like I have. by this time every year i'm so tired of the southern heat, i just give up watering.

I miss summer, but I'm glad for the kids to be back in school! :)

I love the summer, but I LOVE LOVE the fall. So I'm ready. SO ready. :)

[Fannie]

I like the fall weather, but it just kills me that winter is on the way.

[Alisha @ Izzy 'N Emmy]

I am ready for fall! I've been thinking of getting some mums too. Pretty photo but I am sorry the rain didn't come your way.

[Shellie]

Ready or not...here it comes!

[MamaGeek]

I feel ya. Good thing fall is so pretty, it almost makes up for winter.

ALMOST. :)

Lovely shot Leanne!

I LOVE fall too. I love the colors and the crispness (and lack of humidity!). What I don't like is the hurriedness of it all (and the impending countdown to the "Christmas Season")!

I never got around to my planters this year, they have been displaying lovely thistles all summer, so you are WAY ahead of me, and no I don't think you are supposed to be ready for fall. I certainly am NOT.

btw...some sight said they want to sponser me on their sight if I put their widget on my blog, said they got my name from your blog roll...worth it or not?

[New Diva on the Blog]

btw LOVE your new look...who did it?

[Kath]

At least you were away, I was home and mine look like that! When you have your date night, leave a bit early, on the concession roads you can buy mums 3/$10.00. I might pick some up tomorrow and just throw the summer stuff on the compost pile!

[Susan]

At least you are able to keep them alive while you are home. I can't even manage that.
I love fall so I'm ready for a the change.

[Carrie Keiser]

:( poor plants, guess fall is around the corner.... cooler weather.

I wouldn't mind a bit of Fall around here--it's still too darned hot! BTW, thanks for commenting at my blog a while back. Sorry to take so long to respond--I was away from blogging for most of the summer but am now glad to be back!
